Taoyuan Arts Square Introduction
On the bustling Zhongzheng Road, with a continuous flow of traffic and numerous shops, the Taoyuan Arts and Cultural Plaza serves as a green oasis in the city, fulfilling people's beautiful longing for a connection with nature. Covering over ten thousand square meters, the plaza features vast green spaces where families can be seen playing frisbee and enjoying playful moments. Joggers concentrate as they run along the wide pathways, embodying the "Lohas" lifestyle embraced here. Recently, the Taoyuan City Government designated the plaza as a "Taoyuan Picnic Spot," where visitors can often be seen dining on the grass and enjoying delicious light meals under the sun. The plaza also includes grassy ditches and waterways that help retain water, providing an excellent natural classroom with its rich vegetation and ecology. Moreover, the plaza is equipped with outdoor performance venues and small activity areas, having hosted events like "Grassland Music Festivals," "Summer Family Arts Festivals," and New Year's Eve parties. This brings art and life together in close proximity, allowing the plaza to serve not only recreational and educational purposes but also as a performance space, creating a well-rounded multifunctionality. The most prominent landmark of the Taoyuan Arts and Cultural Plaza is the Taoyuan Performing Arts Center, which was completed in 2010 at a cost of nearly one billion. Its winding architectural design resonates with the concept of art's unbounded expression, featuring a grid-like glass curtain that exhibits different aesthetics under sunlight and LED lights. This stylish design, coupled with green building techniques, represents a significant breakthrough in local construction. With an area of nearly seven thousand square meters, the center is designed with seven stories above ground and one underground level, including an arts salon, an indoor stage, and recording spaces, accommodating approximately 1,800 people. The Taoyuan Performing Arts Center now stands as the most representative multifunctional art and cultural platform in Taoyuan, hosting national art events such as the "47th Golden Horse Awards" and the "Taoyuan International Animation Festival," making its artistic allure recognized far and wide.
