Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Chairperson Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) yesterday called on supporters to make their voices heard in the north as she crossed the Jhuoshuei River (濁水溪), the symbolic dividing line between north and south Taiwan.

Yunlin County Commissioner Su Chih-fen (蘇治芬) said crossing the Jhuoshuei symbolized that the DPP’s influence was continuing to spread northwards.

Tsai’s campaign tour moved along the No. 1 Provincial Highway yesterday, bringing her to Citong (莿桐) and Siluo (西螺) townships on the banks of the Jhuoshuei, where she visited temples and roadside rest areas and sampled local dishes.
