It is a good way to see the traditional performing Arts at Taipei Eye with Drum and Lion Dance show and followed by a short performance from Peking Opera Artists (Only on Saturday's). It is recommendable venue when you are in Taipei.

If you have not taken in the Chinese Opera experience this is an excellent one. Its short in duration but very well done and a good value for the money.

A little pricey, but worth it for the views, and a ride in the worlds fasted lift. Also to see the true mass damper, the only one on display in the world

We saw "The Legend of Lazy Lady and Five Elements lion." The staff was so warm and welcoming. We actually reserved our tickets a few days before the show by going online in our hotel room. We picked up our tickets there and got there early as the website advised since the seating is first come first serve. The show... More

We spent almost a wole day in the precinct. The actual 101 was wonderful. But the highlight.....having wine and champagne and afternnon tea in the W Hotel and looking at the 101 all afternoon until the lights came on. Much better value than dining in the 101.

We watched the Saturday performance which includes the performance by Yuan-Xiang Aboriginal Dance Group and a Peking Opera performance. Extremely cheap by western standard. Very entertaining and memorable. Watch this before you go the night market.

Entertaining and cheap, I had fun. A good diversion if you have nothing left to do in the city. Lots of screaming kids as usual and the parents do not care.

We took my mom and sister here after hearing good reviews from our friends. We were very happy with the experience. Before the show you can interact with some of the performers and even have your face painted in a traditional style. They also have traditional wedding outfits that you can try on for pictures. The show is in two... More

This is an interesting evening watching talented performers create an authentic experience of chinese opera. The theater is small and for Americans one gets the sense this is the road show version of a Chinese Opera. The performers are available priotr to the show in the lobby doing their maeup, playing music and after the show for photos. everyone involved... More

Is not a very long program, but the Chinese dragon performers were excellent, as were the Chinese Opera singers. It was very close to my hotel so easy to get to.
