To help Prince Regent Hirohito understand Taiwan’s ethnic and cultural characteristics, which were vastly different from those of Japan, the compact schedule created by the Taiwan Governor-General’s Office included traditional Taiwanese folk and cultural activities that embodied local customs, as well as sceneries representative of Taiwan and the south, such as Han Chinese duck-raising families, traditional court music, celebratory lantern processions, dragon dances, General Hsieh and General Fan, Nanguan and Beiguan music, float parades, dragon boating, etc.
