Double Ten Day in Miami Lakes

The Town of Miami Lakes recognized Taiwan’s National Day, or Double Ten Day, at its October council meeting.

Mayor Josh Dieguez presented the Taiwanese Consulate Director General Chi-Yu Chou with a proclamation to mark the day.

Double Ten Day in Taiwan commemorates the Wuchang Uprising of October 19, 1911, which began the revolution that overthrew the Qing Dynasty, China’s last imperial dynasty.

Chou commented on the beauty of Miami Lakes during Dieguez’ proclamation.

As a token of appreciation, Chou presented Dieguez with a white porcelain dish shaped like Taiwan, as well as snacks from the country.
