Hello! Thank you for your comment! I am glad to know it was the Lion Dance; we will have to go back and find a dragon dance to watch!

You made a big mistake about the pictures on the wall, they're not POW. They're victims in a mass masacre conducted by KMT goverment in Feb 28, 1947. Estimated 20,000+ Taiwanese intellectuals were tortured and executed.

Enjoyed the video of your day in Taipei. I thought I'd let you know that those were not dragons you saw in the metro, but traditional lion dancers. This is s a form of traditional dance in Chinese culture, in which performers mimic a lion's movements in a lion costume. The lion dance is often mistakenly referred to as dragon dance. An easy way to tell the difference is that a lion is operated by two people, while a dragon needs many people.
