十鼓文化村 Tendrum Culture Village-Clatou

The room was very cozy and comfortable. It was well taken care of and had a nice atmosphere, as if we were living in a village, with a wooden interior having wooden floors, wooden furniture... wooden everything! The breakfast in the hotel had a wide variety of food such as chicken nuggets, bread, noodles and Taiwan's specialty, milk tea! The hotel also had the basic amenities we needed and clean facilities. It was definitely a unique experience staying in a village-like hotel. 

We also had a very interesting experience at the village. We learnt how to play the drums and learnt more about the history of the culture village. This culture village was built near an old railway near old factories. There was also a train carriage that the culture village preserved. It felt as if we were walking through the past, with old factories that were partially destroyed during the war when the Japanese invaded Taiwan. We also went to see the ten drums, with each drum symbolizing different things like good fortune, peace and much more. The tour guide was very informative, explaining to us the significance of every single object during the mini tour. 

We also got to see an extremely exciting performance. It consisted of the playing of drums and other musical instruments, bringing drumming to a whole new level with the use of a cudgel. It was not surprising that this group of performers have won a Grammy award and got to perform at the Summer Olympics in Sydney. It was most certainly an exciting experience, all in one village!
