Group Practice, Photo Exhibit, and Performance Held in Taipei
More than one thousand Falun Gong practitioners in Taipei did the five sets of exercises in front of the National Dr. Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall on May 3. They also held a large-scale photo exhibition featuring Falun Gong's spread around the world and the persecution of Falun Gong by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Many people, including tourists from mainland China, saw the activities and visited the exhibit. Some Chinese tourists quit the Communist Party and its affiliated organizations on site.

A large number of visitors were fascinated by the sight of so many practitioners doing the exercises together in unison. They took flyers about Falun Gong so they could find out more about the practice. Some even learned the Falun Gong exercises while there. Many Chinese tourists didn't want to leave and their tour buses had to wait for them.
A young man from Zhejiang province in mainland China learned that the so-called “Tiananmen Square self-immolation” incident was staged by the CCP, as well as the benefits of practicing Falun Gong. He quit the CCP on site and left in good spirits.
