Taoyuan Arts Plaza Introduction
The bustling traffic and thriving commercial district on Chengzhong Road make Taoyuan Arts and Culture Plaza a green oasis in the city, fulfilling people's beautiful aspiration to connect with nature. The vast plaza spans over ten thousand square meters, with extensive green spaces where families can be seen playing frisbee and chasing each other. On the wide paths, joggers focus on their routines, embodying a lifestyle of "LoHas." Recently, the Taoyuan City Government has designated the arts plaza as one of the "Top 100 Picnic Spots in Taoyuan," where citizens can be seen dining on the grass during weekends, enjoying delightful light meals under the sunlight. The plaza also features a grass ditch and waterway that help retain water on the site, combined with rich vegetation, making it an excellent classroom for environmental education. The plaza is equipped with open-air performance venues and small performance spaces, hosting events such as "Grassland Music Concerts," "Summer Family Arts Festivals," and New Year's Eve parties, allowing art and life to coexist closely. This transformation makes the Arts Plaza not only a recreational and educational space but also a venue for performances, creating a comprehensive functional area. The tallest landmark of Taoyuan Arts and Culture Plaza is the Taoyuan Performing Arts Center, which was completed in 2010 at a cost of nearly one billion NTD. Its undulating architectural curves appear particularly dynamic, echoing the unbridled concept of art. The grid-like glass curtain, refracted by sunlight and illuminated by LED lights, showcases different aesthetics, and this stylish design combined with green building techniques represents a significant breakthrough in local construction. With an area of nearly 7,000 square meters, the building is planned with seven floors above ground and one underground level, including an arts salon, indoor stage, and recording spaces, accommodating around 1,400 people. The Taoyuan Performing Arts Center has become the most representative multifunctional arts and cultural platform in Taoyuan, hosting national cultural events such as the "47th Golden Horse Awards" and "Taoyuan International Animation and Comic Exhibition," showcasing the charm of art to a wider audience.
