At Liberty Square, a performed voice brings the 1990 student movement into the walk.
Actors from FlipFlops Theatre perform Lee Teng-hui and a government aide as guides through Taipei's streets. StoryStudio made the 民主之力！ route for Hanaline. At Liberty Square, the performed Lee voice returns to the 1990 Wild Lily student movement.
The route connects Nanmen Market, Liberty Square, Jingfu Gate, the Presidential Office and the 228 monument. Bring a phone and headphones, allow about 1.5–2 hours, and walk at your own pace.
Before leaving, download Hanaline on iOS or Android. Register with a name and email address, verify the email, then search 故事 StoryStudio and select 臺北·博愛特區【數位導遊】民主之力！. The app gives the exact starting marker and estimated route time. No group-tour reservation is needed.
The Taipei route and Tamsui's 出海口的女學浪花 have a free trial through October 18. Beipu and Taichung follow October 19–November 1; use the organiser's guide for those routes. StoryStudio says multilingual versions are planned; use the Chinese route titles when looking in the app.
Get there

Take the MRT to CKS Memorial Hall; Nanmen Market is beside the station. Finish app registration and email verification first, then follow the route's start marker.
