Weiwuying – From Military Grounds to Taiwan’s Largest Cultural Landmark
Once a military training center and later a public park, the land that Weiwuying now occupies has transformed into Taiwan’s most significant cultural development in nearly 40 years. It embodies the hopes and imagination of southern Taiwan for the performing arts. Every construction element here presented unprecedented challenges in Taiwan’s architectural history. As the world’s largest single-roof performing arts center, Weiwuying’s streamlined architectural form and banyan tree-inspired plaza reflect the unique cultural spirit of Kaohsiung’s everyday life.
You are invited to step into this center for all, and discover the endless possibilities of artistic expression.
