Baseball is Taiwan’s most popular sport, and attending a game is more than just watching the action on the field—it’s an electrifying cultural experience. Unlike baseball games in other countries, Taiwanese baseball is famous for its enthusiastic cheerleading culture, creating an atmosphere that feels more like a concert than a traditional sporting event.

Each team has its own cheerleaders, known for their synchronized dance routines, lively chants, and fan interactions. Fans passionately follow along with team songs and rhythmic drumming, turning the entire stadium into a sea of energy and excitement. Whether you’re a baseball fan or just looking for a unique local experience, joining the crowd and cheering along is an unforgettable way to feel the spirit of Taiwanese sports culture.

For students visiting Taiwan, a live baseball game is a must—not just to witness top-tier athletic competition, but to immerse in the one-of-a-kind cheerleading performances and fan culture that make Taiwan’s baseball scene truly special.

Step back in time and explore Dadaocheng and Dihua Street, one of Taipei’s most culturally rich and historically significant areas. Once a bustling trading hub during the Qing Dynasty, this district remains a vibrant blend of traditional charm and modern creativity, making it a must-visit destination for students eager to experience Taipei’s past and present.

Walking along Dihua Street, visitors will be surrounded by beautifully preserved baroque-style and Minnan architecture, traditional herbal medicine shops, fabric stores, tea houses, and dried goods markets—all of which tell the story of Taipei’s commercial heritage. The area is especially lively during the Lunar New Year season, when the streets are filled with festive decorations, street vendors, and local delicacies.

Beyond its rich history, Dadaocheng has transformed into a cultural hotspot, home to independent cafés, art spaces, and craft workshops that blend old and new. Watching the sunset by the Dadaocheng Wharf, with views of the Tamsui River, is a perfect way to end the day.
