Snacks, crafts and live show!

If you’re interested in Taiwanese culture, make sure not to miss the Taiwan Innoculture Fair at One Avenue in Futian District.

A total of 150 booths are showcasing a variety of snacks from Taiwan’s vibrant night markets, cultural creative products, handicrafts, specialties, and more. Visitors can also enjoy a baseball experience with a former Taiwanese baseball pro on-site.

One of the highlights of the fair was the “Eight Generals” show over the weekend. Eight performers, representing retinues of the gods, adorned in traditional costumes and striking facial patterns, provided attendees with a glimpse of Taiwan’s temple fairs. This ritual is a prominent feature of Chinese New Year celebrations in Taiwan, as people seek good fortune and ward off bad luck.

In its 8th edition in Shenzhen, the fair will run until 8 p.m. today. Catch the last chance to immerse yourself in charming Taiwanese culture!
