C4-FLORA EXPO

In 2009, everyone in Taiwan got red envelope from Taiwan government, so did I. Yes, it was consumption vouchers of 3000 NTD. I bought a massage chair and got an invoice. I used the invoice number to join Taipei government online lottery. WOW, I won 3 FLORA EXPO PASSes, which means I can enter for free and unlimitedly!! Have you ever been to FLORA EXPO? As a people of Taiwan, you must take a look!
There are 4 parks and 14 pavilions, I already visited 12 pavilions. In the flora expo, you can not only see a sea of flowers, but also fantabulous shows and fantastic exhibition! Today, I would like to share my favorite show and pavilion with you.
Over the Fine Arts Park Area, the EXPO Hall(舞蝶館) has a design focused on sustainable energy use, because of open area, it has fresh air and natural light. It is the biggest stage of FLOR EXPO, they change the show almost every 3 months. The first show was a musical- the first lily, which adapted from Rukai myth. This story is talking about a princess fell in love with a god of Hundred-pace snake. But the king didn’t want to marry his daughter to a snack, so he said, if this snake can fight off the enemy, then he can marry the princess. The hundred-pace snake was smart and brave, he repelled enemy and saved her tribe, so they married. However, the snake lived in Ghost lake, which means the princess needed to stay with him under the lake. For this aboriginal legend, I feel the love of families and lover. I saw this musical twice, and its powerful music and meaningful lyrics always made me tears and touched.
My favorite pavilion is Dreams! Most people must know that you need to wait for reservation ticket around 5 am! But I didn’t. Tell you a tip entering the pavilion of dreams without waking up early. That is collecting invoice!! Yes! Invoice again. You can use 100 invoices to redeem 2 reservation tickets! This pavilion will bring you to start a journey of searching your dream. It uses technology let you sense the beauty of nature. When you enter the pavilion, you can see the big flower bloom form the sky. At the beginning, you will transform to a bee, pick up pollen to stamen, then come out a seed. You will bring this seed to walk through several places then your dream will bloom a flower of dream. One of my favorite places was sitting in the circle-theater, I took a big ship, flied over the mountain and through the sky. I could just wave my hands and taking a deep breath to let seedling grow up a big tree and pupa become a beautiful butterfly! It was so much fun and amazing!
The most surprise to me that is our technology and innovation make a successful and wonderful flora expo. It will close on April 25th, so grasp the chance to enjoy the flower festival!
