by Li Lian What comes to mind when you think about Taiwanese culture? Night markets? Friendly and hospitable people? Taiwan is like a newborn baby that embraces both new creativity and old cultures, a fascinating combination of different periods all melted together. There are at least four different cultures: Hakka, Hoklo, Aboriginal, and Mainlander. But now we are all Taiwanese! You can experience this tremendous variety in Taipei as well. Here are some suggestions: I always wanted to live by a temple because of its eye-catching puppet shows held on special days. But as time passes it is difficult to encounter such interesting cultural events, especially if you live in the city. But you can still experience great puppet shows while you are enjoying delicious Taiwanese cuisine at a restaurant called See-Join Puppet Theater, located in Taipei at 46 Yitong St. in the Zhongshan district (MRT Songjiang Nanjing Station).
One of my favorite corners of the park is called libLAB, run by Yuan-Liou Publishing Company, who turned it into a lab combining reading, food, and an arts lecture hall. All the books for sale all about Taiwanese customs and historical events on the island. The lab uses diverse reading experiences to encourage people to appreciate Taiwanese culture in all its variety. Most people think of Taipei as a city of high technology, fast-paced development, and modern life. But it is also a place to discover cultural landmarks and to experience the real Taiwan!
