The beauty of Taiwan - Taichung City - National Taichung Theater
Taitung city is the third largest city in Taiwan. Because Taichung city is a relatively new city, it is less crowding and full of creative designs in the city. Today, the focus is on National Taichung Theater. If you have been Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall in Taipei, you can recall two traditional Chinese style buildings with bright and shining roofs on the tops which are National Concert Hall and National Theater Hall. In order to make an differentiation from National Theater Hall, Toyo Ito, the master Japanese Archector, won the competition to design National Taichung Theater in 2005.
Toyo Ito broke the rule of concert hall's concept. He described "this building as one you use your ears to listen to. Accompanied by the theater's natural lighting which constantly changes, when you walk through the theater you hear different sounds, producing unique sensations." The shape of the building is like "Teapot Residence," so people who come to visit are going to be immersed in art and music by this magic space.
The inside of National Taichung Theater is like a massive cave, you can barely see a straight line in the building; the walls and ceilings are flowing to wherever you are. Bright and smooth curves make you feel clean, safe, and comfortable. In the end, you will amaze the greatness of this building.

Don't worry! Even though you don't have a concert ticket, you are welcome to visit the first floor. As for the second floor, it depends on the public exhibition schedule. Of course, it will be nice having a chance to enjoy a concert or opera in National Taichung Theater. If you stay long enough, you are welcome to give it a try. The program list is as the following link: http://en.npac-ntt.org/
It is also nice to go around this area. A great lawn is just in the front of the opera house. You can picnic here with your friends. Some great and personalize restaurants are just nearby.
Anyway, just slow down your pace! You are not in Taipei, be a Taichung person here!!
