OELP: Day 3

Day 3: 26 May 2014 Monday
Weather: Sunny
Places visited: Anping Fort and Old Street • Chikan Tower • Eternal Golden Castle • Tainan Confucius Temple

Today we left the 十鼓文化村 with a tour of the place. The tour guide of the 十鼓文化村 took us to a room where 10 drums were presented, each bringing different prospects of luck when hit 3 times. Then through a painting, our guide told us the legend of the origin of the drums. I think this is interesting as we got to learn about the Taiwan Chinese culture like their beliefs and legends, this also makes me appreciate the different Chinese culture in Singapore and Taiwan.
We also went to the Taiwan Confucius Temple and through the displays there and the information my friend gave me, we did some self-learning. I learnt that in the past in Taiwan there were little to no education opportunities since the Confucius Temple was the only school then. This made me really appreciate my opportunity to be able to study in a good environment in Singapore.

Each intricate detail in the Tainan Confucius Temple has a meaning!
