President-elect Tsai Ing-wen began her tour of seven major industrial sectors in Taiwan on Thursday, starting in Pingtung County. She attended the opening ceremony of the country’s first floating solar power plant, and said it was the type of business the government would support in the future. President-elect Tsai was full of praise for the large installation of solar panels over a fish farm.Tsai Ing-wenPresident-electOur land can not only be used for farming or for raising fish, but the space above it can be used to generate electricity. Our Pingtung is testimony to the possibilities of this multiple use of land. Tsai pledged that her government will pay more attention to the development of this industry.Tsai Ing-wenPresident-electI can tell you that beginning on May 20, the government’s determination will be very strong and clear on amending the Renewable Energy Development Act and the Electricity Act. They will be among our top priority bills. We also hope these bills will give our private sector enough space to develop its creativity and businesses. Tsai’s tour will take her to representatives of seven major industries, including the information and communications technology, biotechnology and precision machinery sectors.

Pingtung County is a county in Southern Taiwan. Pingtung County is officially administered as a county of the Republic of China (Taiwan). The oldest national park in Taiwan, Kenting National Park, was established in Pingtung County in 1984. Pingtung City is the capital of Pingtung County.
Modern-day Pingtung County and Kaohsiung City were part of Wan-nien Province (萬年州) during the Kingdom of Tungning and Fengshan Prefecture in the Qing Dynasty. Pingtung County is a recently-developed county. Its largest city is Pingtung City. The name Pingtung refers to a former nearby mountain known as Half-Screen Mountain (半屏山). Pingtung means "East of Half-Screen Mountain."
Until the seventeenth century this area of Taiwan was a place of exile for Chinese criminals and occasional landing point for international mariners. Only the settlements near present-day Checheng Township existed. In 1664 Chinese, Cantonese and Hakka settlers arrived from China and farmed under a homesteading system introduced by Zheng Jing.
