Confucianism, the spirit has deep influcence on Chinese culture. Taiwan reserves the tradition.
Due to Confucianism we people traditionally respect teachers (, but time is different, the view changed) and take Confucious' birthday on September 28 as teachers' day. On that day we hold solemn ceremony for celebration in Confucious Temples all around Taiwan. The rite is ran with polite dance and music (bells).
The Confucious Temple in Tai-Nan is the biggest and oldest one so it's ceremony is also the best.

Basing on my own experiences, It's easy to make friends with the locals if visitors who can speak a few Taiwanese, which is widely used dialact in Taiwan.
You may get price discounts, clearly street directions, and so on, if you can speak a few Taiwanese.
