Folk Culture and Art in Taiwan

E-mail

Traditional Chinese opera is very popular in Taiwan but the Taiwanese have also developed its own Taiwanese opera and famous puppet theater. Taiwanese opera combines local opera and music into one performing art, while the puppet theater has undergone great modernization in recent years and many special effects are added to performances today, making it extremely popular among Taiwan's younger generation. Taiwan's movies and performing groups are also gradually gaining ground on the international stage, once again demonstrating the traditional and creative value of Chinese and Taiwanese culture.

Local Taiwanese folk events are great cultural showcases:

  • the Dajia Matzu Pilgrimage
  • the Goddess Matzu Making Rounds of Inspection in Beigang
  • the City God Welcoming in Taipei
  • the Burning of the Plague God Boat in Dongkang
