This week marks the activity weeks for Kaohsiung County as well as Taipei City’s Neihu and Songshan districts. Visitors can enjoy a 50% discount on “full-price, student, senior, afternoon, and evening tickets” by showing proof of residency in the respective county/city activity week or Taipei City week when purchasing tickets. The Kaohsiung County Government has also invited traditional puppetry and performing arts groups from the county to perform in Taipei. Nine puppet troupes selected in 2009 for Kaohsiung County’s support program—including Tianhongyuan Glove Puppet Theater, Jinfeifeng Puppet Theater, and Yongxing Le Shadow Puppet Theater—will stage 21 high-quality puppet performances at Flower Dream Plaza in the Xinxing Park area and the plaza in front of the Art Museum in the Art Park area during the activity week.
