As a new expat to TaiPei I was surprised that I seemed to be the only expat who was aware of it's existence! Nonetheless my roommate and I went to the Saturday night performance mostly unsure of what to expect. It was wildly entertaining! As expats living in Asia we've seen our fair share of Chinese lion dances. This one was hands down the best. It was funny, impressive, acrobatic an awe-inspiring. The second show had brilliant costuming and stunts. Taipei eye has done a great job taking a traditional storyline an jazzing it up with costumes and stunts. I would recommend it to people of all ages and definitely to any expats who have family coming to visit.

the show si divided in two parts. one is traditional taiwanese tribe dance and second is chinese opera. both shows are soooo goood you will spend great time. i do not want to unveil much. you just have to go and to see it when in taipei. i absolutely loved it! its a big wow for me! amazing cultural experience! remember to be there 15 min before so you can find better seats. if you want some drinks other than water you should buy them before getting to the show.

Oftentimes you've seen one of these shows, then you've seen them all, but this show still had some surprises. There were many amazing acrobatic feats, and the Beijing opera after intermission was not at all earsplitting, but instead very enjoyable and easy to follow. The story was fun, the costumes were well done, and it was a great time.

Taipei eye is a modestly priced evening event, ($550 NTD.) reservations are not required. But we went during the slow season. Reservations can be made on their website. This year Some of the performers were in the foyer putting on their makeup make for the visitors. (They were not doing this in 2013 when we were there.). We were able to pose with one of the stars for photos. Taipei eye is not a formal opera like the NY Metropolitan. You can take non flash pictures during the performance. Unlike western operas these operas contain wonderful acrobatics. The music is live yet modest. The costumes and makeup are beautiful. Above the stare is a screen with English sur-titles so you can follow the story. I highly recommend this event.

This show was a good experience to help us learn back some part of our culture .After the show, you can take your picture with the actor, fantastic. A must place to see
