ciao Tiffany,
hows going in taiwan so far?
if u are interested in south of taiwan.
i suggest that u could go to Kaohsiung, the second biggest city of taiwan.
we have good local food and nice night view of love river, our famous city rivr.
u could come on wed.
And u could not only see the festival but also could visit kaohsiung museum of history and kaohsiung music of hall. (those are close to river)
The whole festival activities including : rock band, concert, hip hop dance, live on competition .
u could visit this web:
www.moulin-orange.com/2006dragonboat/to see some pics .
and at the night, around the love river, the light is very unique.
hope u could come to visit.
by the way, i know a place could see the great whole night view of love river.
if u are interested in this, plz kindly advise me in here. i will leave my contact way.
wish u luck!
