The Guixi community in the Jin'an district of Fuzhou, Fujian province, welcomed a special visitor on Saturday — Yao Shih-wei, president of the Golden Dragon Community Development Association in Taichung, Taiwan.

During the visit to the community, he experienced the community culture, visited residents and exchanged experiences with residents and staff members.

During the Lantern Festival in February, the Guixi community and Golden Dragon community held an online gathering and signed a friendship community agreement with each other.

Guixi also invited Golden Dragon — residents and officials — to visit Fuzhou.

Yao said: "Taking this opportunity to visit Fuzhou, I hope we can learn from each other and work together to create a warm and convenient community life. In the Guixi community, there are nearly 20,000 residents, about four times as many as ours, but the management is still in good order. There is lots of valuable experience that can be used as a reference for Taiwan."

Chen Wenjing, director of the Guixi community, said: "We can also learn the ideas from Taiwan as they have a longer history of promoting community building. The pursuit of livable conditions is the common aspiration of people on both sides of the Taiwan Straits, and community exchanges also make it easier to strike a chord."

Currently, there are 304 people from Taiwan living in the Guixi community, making it the largest apartment complex for Taiwan compatriots in the province. They have been effectively integrated into the environment and atmosphere of the community.
