Taoyuan Arts Plaza Introduction
In the bustling Zhongzheng Road, where the flow of traffic is ceaseless and shops abound, the Taoyuan Arts and Cultural Square stands as a green haven in the city, fulfilling people's beautiful longing to be close to nature. Covering over ten thousand square meters, the expansive green area allows for scenes of families playing frisbee and children chasing each other. On the broad pathways, joggers focus on their run, embodying a lifestyle of "living well". Recently, the Taoyuan City Government designated the Arts and Cultural Square as one of the "Taoyuan Picnic Spot 100", making it common to see people dining on the grass during the weekends, enjoying delicious light meals under the sun. The square also features grass ditches and waterways that serve the function of water retention, complemented by rich vegetation, making it an excellent classroom for environmental education. The square is equipped with open-air performance venues and small performance activity areas, having hosted events such as "Grassland Music Festival," "Summer Parent-Child Arts Festival," and New Year's Eve parties, bringing art and life closer together. Thus, the Arts and Cultural Square not only combines recreational and educational functions but also serves as a performance space, creating a comprehensive functionality. The most prominent landmark of the Taoyuan Arts and Cultural Square is the Taoyuan Performing Arts Center, which was completed in 2010 at a cost of nearly one billion NTD. The wavy architectural lines appear particularly vibrant, echoing the untamed concept of art without boundaries. The grid-patterned glass curtain, under the refracted sunlight and LED projections, showcases varying styles, making this fashionable design a significant breakthrough in local construction, seamlessly integrating green building techniques. Covering nearly seven thousand square meters, it is planned with seven floors above ground and one basement level, including an art salon, indoor stage, and recording space, accommodating approximately 1,400 people. The Taoyuan Performing Arts Center has become the most representative multi-functional arts and cultural platform in Taoyuan, hosting national cultural events such as the "47th Golden Horse Awards" and "Taoyuan International Animation Festival," showcasing the charm of the arts far and wide.
