Introduction to Taiwan culture

Taiwan culture is one that is rich, diverse and vivid. With the long history, the culture for various ethnic groups that once populated Taiwan had developed into the different local customs and traditions along the way. Taiwan’s interactions with American, Spanish and Dutch culture have given the traditional Chinese culture a different boundary. Cultural remnants had been left behind from the past and could still be found around Taiwan, these include traditional architecture and relics of past civilizations. The richness of Taiwan's culture is also eminent in various art forms such as woodcarving and pottery. Dance and music, such as drums and simple wind instruments, are part of Taiwanese culture.

In the following blog post, I will discuss more Taiwan’s culture, in terms of music and dance.
