Due to the diverse culture of Taiwan, there are a number of colourful events and festivities in the country. The Lantern Festival (celebrated generally in February), Dragon Boat Festival (June) and Mid-Autumn Festival (October) are a few of the several festivals celebrated in Taiwan. If one gets a chance, they should be a part of these celebrations to experience the rich cultural heritage of this country. These performances are a very important as well as a very good source of entertainment for the local people and tourists alike.
The Chinese New Year is the biggest celebration and is not a very good time to plan a trip to the country. 1 January, celebrated as Founding Day, Peace Memorial Day (28 February) and Youth Day (29 March) are some of the important public holidays in Taiwan.
