Former President 
Tsai Ing-wen appeared at the launch of a hikers' support group for New Taipei mayoral candidate Su Chiao-hui on Sunday, then joined President 
Lai Ching-te and Su at Wanli's Guihou fishing port. Lai, a Wanli native, invited both women and treated them to seasonal Wanli crab. Su posted a selfie of the three on social media, the Liberty Times reported.
What happened at the hikers' rally? At the rally in the hills of Xindian, Tsai, who chairs Su's campaign, brought Lele, a retired search-and-rescue dog she joked was her "little hiker" and a faster climber on four legs. She recalled her presidency's "Salute to the Mountains" policy, which sought to make hiking safer and more convenient, CNA reported. She also joked that fewer hikers had backed her 2010 run for New Taipei mayor, and when Su replied that the campaign was building on Tsai's foundation, Tsai responded that Su often forgot her father. Tsai, in remarks carried by Public Television Service (PTS), asked the crowd to encourage Su, elect her and let her work for them.
What did Su promise? Su, the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) candidate, pledged a "New Taipei Grand Traverse" hiking brand, the Liberty Times reported. She told the hikers, in remarks carried by CNA, that as mayor she would use city resources to upgrade trail facilities, grade trails, add shuttle buses and build a cable car on Guanyin Mountain. Citing the north coast's mountain and sea resources, she also promoted a "New Crown Plan" to inspect 28 fishing ports and upgrade their infrastructure and traffic flow.
What did Lai and Tsai say about her? Lai praised Su's concrete blueprints for all 29 districts, including her first-hand look at "bong huo zai," a century-old fishing method found nowhere else in the world, CNA reported. Tsai called Su "more formidable than the Tsai Ing-wen of 16 years ago" and urged New Taipei residents to back her. In a Facebook post that evening, Lai said Su was ready to take on responsibility, take up the baton and keep New Taipei moving forward.
How did her rival campaign? Kuomintang (KMT) candidate Lee Szu-chuan reiterated five healthcare pledges at a hiking charity event, including a geriatric care centre. Incumbent mayor Hou Yu-ih spoke at Lee's first rally, held at Banqiao Gymnasium the night before, PTS reported. "Mayor Hou will definitely fight side by side with me and stay with me until the campaign is over," Lee said.
