Taipei, Oct. 10 (CNA) Taiwanese delicacies and aboriginal performances were the center of attention for more than 3,000 local and foreign attendants of the National Day reception in Taipei Saturday.

The event celebrating the Republic of China’s 104th birthday, held by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at Taipei Guest House, showcased a series of music and dance performances given by a Taiwanese indigenous group to present the tribal culture of the Amis.

President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) enjoyed the shows along with many other foreign guests. It was the last time Ma will attend the event in his capacity as head of state, as his second and final four-year term in office comes to an end in May 2016.

Local singers also took to the stage to perform several classic songs in both Mandarin and English.     [FULL  STORY]
