Leading Kinmen County
After becoming the county magistrate, Yang Cheng-wu made his first official visit to mainland China. This was about two months after he started his new job. He visited Quanzhou and Xiamen in Fujian province. He led a group from the county government to promote tourism and products from Kinmen to people in mainland China.
On August 12, 2019, Yang Cheng-wu visited Beijing. He went with the leaders of Penghu County and Lienchiang County. They met with Liu Jieyi, who is in charge of the Taiwan Affairs Office. They asked the mainland Chinese government to allow more tourists from mainland China to visit their three counties. This was because of some difficulties in the relationship between Taiwan and mainland China. The mainland government agreed to lift the travel ban on September 20, 2019.
In late April 2020, Magistrate Yang visited Wuqiu for the first time as magistrate. He even stayed there overnight.
