May holiday weekend

This event is a lot of fun held in Tainan county annually. Hippies, ravers, stoners, yogaers , families, saffas it’s got it all. Some decent food stands usually. Interesting bands.

Nice green location beside a lake. Buses also provided. There’s an English description in there, good mix of locals and foreigners. It reminds me of the Peace festivals in north Taiwan back in the day.
