I feel the area has improved a lot, becoming cleaner and neater.
Dad said the previous mayor was a Chinese lady who lives in the area. She did a lot for the people but served only one term, didn’t do too well, politically.
The GMD party headquarter, reportedly this particular chapter is the wealthiest.
