Taoyuan Arts Plaza Introduction
In the bustling Zhongzheng Road, where the flow of traffic is constant and shops line the streets, the Taoyuan Art and Culture Plaza serves as a green oasis in the city, fulfilling the people's beautiful yearning to get close to nature. Spanning over ten hectares, the vast green space accommodates families playing frisbee and children chasing each other, while joggers focus on their runs along the wide pathways. "Living well" is the lifestyle attitude here. The Taoyuan City Government recently designated the Art and Culture Plaza as one of the "100 Picnic Spots in Taoyuan," where on weekends, people can be seen dining on the grass, enjoying delicious light meals under the sunlight. The plaza is also equipped with ditches and waterways, which serve the function of water retention, along with a rich variety of vegetation, making it an excellent classroom for environmental education. The plaza features outdoor performance venues and small performance activity areas, hosting events such as "Grassland Music Concerts," "Summer Parent-Child Arts Festival," and New Year's Eve celebrations, bringing art and life closer together. This multifunctional space not only combines leisure and educational functions but also offers performance capabilities. The most significant landmark of the Taoyuan Art and Culture Plaza is the Taoyuan Performing Arts Center, which was completed in 2010 at a cost of nearly one billion NTD. The winding architectural curves appear particularly lively, echoing the unbounded concept of art, while the grid-patterned glass curtain showcases different styles under sunlight refraction and LED projection. This fashionable design, combined with green building techniques, represents a significant breakthrough in local construction. The center covers an area of nearly seven thousand square meters, 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 is now the most representative multifunctional arts and cultural platform in Taoyuan, hosting national events such as the "47th Golden Horse Awards" and the "Taoyuan International Anime Festival," spreading the charm of art far and wide.
