Syujiu Puppet Show Garden (founded in 1992) is Taiwan's first puppet show-themed restaurant. For 30 years, its "Taiwanese Puppet Show Feast" has attracted international tour groups to visit the capital for a reunion, sitting on benches to appreciate Taiwanese literature while enjoying Taiwanese cuisine, embarking on a happy journey through the island. Government departments often arrange for foreign dignitaries and politicians to watch.
