We were in time for a fun traditional Taiwanese play 歌仔戏 about 廖添丁 which consist of action, romantic, comedy genres. The performance move along the old street and even though we did not understand the Taiwanese language, we were kept excited and entertained throughout.

We went to the temple first. Then, walked along the streets to shop. There are various shops that sell the local handicrafts. There is also a street that sells local delicacies. I tried the spring onion cake. We also bought some local titbits on the way out.

There are shops located on both sides of the old street. Observations: 1. The museum often features displays... More

National Center for Traditional Arts is nice and suitable for families to visit. You can see lots of stuff of folklore, and it's our past. Our grand parents' childhood! It's really good that there is a place like here to memorize the old stuff and try to prevent it from disappearing!
