As the colonial government aimed to promulgate the effectiveness of its governance in Taiwan, it arranged the route of the imperial visit to pass the main business streets of important cities and chose the railway – one of the government’s accomplishments – for land transportation, thus showcasing the economic progression and prosperity, people’s livelihood, and social development. Meanwhile, to demonstrate the results of integrating Taiwan’s agriculture with commerce and the systematization of the colony’s industries, the industries inspected during the visit were the most successful and large-scale ones in Taiwan at the time, including the sugar, forestry, and salt industries, as well as the monopoly businesses.
