City Corridor Introduction
In 2001, the Central Park, located in the city center, created an 18-meter-long tree-lined corridor featuring the smiles of 2001 citizens. Collaborating with nine local artists, they designed a series of artworks centered around the theme of light, blending installation art with light and shadows. This transformed the previously ordinary daytime sidewalk and dark nighttime path into a stage for artistic dreams, greatly beloved by visitors. In 2014, to accommodate more tourists and breathe new life into Central Park, the Urban Light Corridor was renovated again, creating a new cultural and artistic space with a performance plaza, pedestrian art walkway, lightweight membrane structures, and installation art. The revamped Urban Light Corridor features sixteen new themed installations, including a 3.6-meter-tall stainless steel giraffe that adds charm to the park amidst greenery, as well as steel laser-cut urban landscapes, wall creations, and ground 3D artworks. Combined with the beautiful tree-lined views of Central Park, these installations not only showcase artistic creativity and vitality but also present an enchanting atmosphere under the sculpted night lights. The diverse and interactive installation art revitalizes the fun of the Urban Light Corridor, while the accompanying dining and cultural space activities offer avenues for artistic performances and pleasant relaxation spots, making it a great location for visitors and travelers to experience urban aesthetics and cultural taste. In 2008, in response to the controversy surrounding the Assembly and Parade Act, Chen Yunlin's visit to Taiwan ignited the "Wild Strawberry Movement," sparking sit-ins by students, citizens, and groups at the Urban Light Corridor.
