The building of the National Kaohsiung Center for the Arts embodies the developments and transformations that have taken place in the long-industrialized city of Kaohsiung, which today has become a modern city that hosts some of Taiwan's most prominent cultural attractions and events and offers a diverse climate for cultural production and development. The architectural design of the building, which is inspired by the local tropical banyan tree, attracts the attention of visitors and those interested in architecture, while the artistic performances and cultural events hosted by the building’s theaters and halls attract those interested in local and international arts and culture and provide them with an opportunity to enrich their culture in the largest performing arts center under one roof in the world.
