Today we travelled by bus to a park where the children enjoyed the scenic surrounds and then to the National Centre for Traditional Arts.
The centre is designed to aid the preservation, education and promotion of traditional arts. It is situated downstream of Dong Shan River in Wujie Township, Yilan County.
The word 'tradition' expresses the idea of passing on History and culture to future generations, whilst 'art' is a creative result of our daily experiences and is a product of beauty. The inspiration for the creation of traditional art usually originated from the daily activities of people and traditional arts represent a specific way of thinking, different beliefs, cultures and religions that are local to a certain place.
The children observed performances and browsed shops selling traditional Taiwanese items such as hand puppets, hand made candy, spinning tops, pottery etc.
