City Light Corridor Introduction
In 2001, the Central Park, located in the urban area, created an 18-meter-long corridor adorned with 2001 smiling faces of citizens, collaborating with nine local artists to develop a series of light-themed artworks. This installation art intertwined with light and shadow transformed the originally ordinary daytime sidewalk and dark nighttime paths into a stage of artistic dreams, garnering great popularity among tourists. In 2014, to accommodate more visitors and give new life to Central Park, the Urban Light Corridor was renovated again, featuring a performance plaza, pedestrian art walkway, lightweight membrane architecture, and installation art, creating a brand new cultural and artistic space. The revamped Urban Light Corridor displayed sixteen new thematic installations, including a 3.6-meter-tall stainless steel giraffe, adding fun to the park amid the green trees. Additionally, there were laser-cut steel urban landscapes, wall artworks, and 3D ground creations, showcasing artistic creativity and vitality against the beautiful tree-lined scenery of Central Park, further highlighted by the enchanting lights at night. The diverse interactive installations revitalized the playful ambiance of the Urban Light Corridor, while the accompanying dining and cultural space activities offered avenues for art performances and pleasant relaxation, making it an excellent spot for tourists and visitors to experience urban aesthetics and cultural taste. Regarding human rights, in 2008, Chen Yunlin visited Taiwan, sparking the "Wild Strawberry Student Movement" due to controversies over the Assembly and Parade Act, leading students, citizens, and groups to sit-in at the Urban Light Corridor.
