Review for: Leisurely Tour in Litton District

A very special stage play with both entertainment and food. There's a lot of food, and the actors come down from the stage to hand out meals. You can also take photos after the show. It's a really great experience.

The actors were all fantastic. I brought my daughter to see this show, and we both learned a lot about the history of the Red House Theater in Ximen. The included snacks were all famous Taipei delicacies, making it great value for the price. I'm very happy.
