Kaohsiung Cultural Center Introduction
Kaohsiung Cultural Center was established on April 16, 1981. With an outdoor green space of 7.055 hectares, it symbolizes the cultural development of Kaohsiung. The adjacent Guangzhou 1st Street is home to many galleries. The cultural center not only provides a leisure and recreation space for Kaohsiung citizens but also enriches the artistic perspectives of the harbor city's residents. It includes two performance halls, Zhide Hall and Zhishan Hall, seven exhibition halls, and a library, surrounded by artistic spaces. The "Citizens' Art Avenue," filled with a cultural atmosphere, creates a unique space featuring art benches on the sidewalks, steel sculptures, and mosaic ground murals, which exemplify "urban aesthetics." After the removal of the walls, Kaohsiung Cultural Center transformed into an open space where visitors can enjoy the pleasant ambiance brought by the dense forest within the park simply by walking along the pedestrian paths. This location is also a major venue for various cultural activities in Kaohsiung. The main building's exterior walls, freshly painted in a refined gray and white tone, add a charming elegance to the cultural center. Surrounding the Kaohsiung Cultural Center's Citizens' Art Avenue are attractions like Stone Drum, Sunshine Station, steel sculptures, creative bus stops, and love poem walkways, creating a rich cultural atmosphere. The art market held on Saturday and Sunday evenings serves as a stage for street performers and creative works.
