In Southern Taiwan, we have movie nights blocking a small street (like a street wedding), sometimes sit in the car. Missed Drive in car movies in Japan with a date, saw in Taiwan they have it sometimes, anyone went

Mostly the puppets are on one side of the street and the viewers on the other, interesting concept.
We saw this around Yilan. No idea what they are showing currently

But no, it’s legit, they have a menu too. Be sure to bring a battery powered radio. We had a large group at once, so we set up camp chairs and blankets, snacks, drinks, etc
I went to a grand opening of a temple once deep south small 2 stoplight town. It included the street in front.
All night long past midnight the priests, and the Chinese opera stage, and the strippers on the back of trucks, and old men setting off fireworks, were each and all with speakers and power systems, making as much noise as possible and everyone loved it.
And then the Chinese Opera actors started fighting ripping each other’s makeup off and throwing each other off the stage apparently that was not good but funny as hell. Everyone ignored it I think one of them and their leg broken but no one cared just kept on watching the strippers and the kids were there and the family everybody.
I miss the old simple Taiwan

There is still some of old simple Taiwan, even in KHH (Weddings and movies in the streetm and movie night at the temple)
Haven’t seen an outdoor movie in years- when I first came to Taiwan, they had largely disappeared in the cities due to movie theaters, TVs, and MTVs, but villages in the countryside still had them.
Puppet shows are still around, mostly as a ‘must-do’ obligation for rituals- audience usually two old men, three dogs, and a toddler one of the grandpas is babysitting. (Is the TV channel with Taiwanese puppets still running?)

Maybe more than on one channel. I see puppet TV frequently all times of the day including when I wake up in middle of night and turn on TV flipping channels for a few minutes. I don’t know if new shows or re-runs of old shows.
MTV’s seems almost gone or maybe I do not pay attention to them.
MTV was a 90s thing. They basically died out after about 2005.
When I first lived in Kaohsiung in 1988-89 it was in a building next to the President department store on Chungshan Lu that was packed with MTVs. It was cheap entertainment- a lot of English teachers didn’t have TVs, and anyway there were only three networks that played one half-hour sitcom in English at 11:00 each night.

There is a MTV still there. Some people go there for more than Movie TV (MTV)
There still are a few of them.
