(Clearwisdom.net) On December 24, Chen Yunlin, chairman of China's Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Strait (ARATS), went to Sun Moon Lake for sight-seeing during his visit to Taiwan. More than 2000 Falun Gong practitioners held activities there, protesting the persecution of Falun Gong in China.
Practitioners held a protest in front of Chuntai Temple.
From the highway to Sun Moon Lake, practitioners were waiting for Chen Yunlin at every tourist spot. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials saw practitioners' banners wherever they went.

Many security guards and policemen saw the practitioners' activities. They were curious and talked to practitioners to learn more about Falun Gong and the persecution. This group of policemen all expressed their supporting and some of them were interested in learning the practice. One police chief helped practitioners hang up a banner and praised Falun Gong's principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.
Some policemen remarked that Falun Gong is a such a peaceful group, and if all protesting groups were like Falun Gong, then their job would be much easier. Some policemen guided practitioners to the best spots so that the CCP officials would see their banners.
