I have to say, when I arrived here, I was truly amazed! The unique architectural design, with its smooth curves both inside and out, without any sharp 'corners', all the photos above are from the free areas. The staircase gets narrower as you go higher, and you can see directly down to the first floor, which really makes your legs feel weak as you climb... But once you reach the top floor, it's a whole different world! Still beautiful, perfect for night photography! The whole place feels very clean~ At night, there are many photography enthusiasts taking pictures, and every shot looks great! 🕰️Business Hours: Closed on Mondays Sunday, Tuesday to Thursday 11:30 AM - 9:00 PM Friday to Saturday and public holidays 11:30 AM - 10:00 PM 📍Address: No. 101, Section 2, Huilai Road, Xitun District, Taichung City, 40756 🏖️Atmosphere/Facilities: A great place to enhance your personal charm

The Taichung National Opera House was designed by world-class architect Toyo Ito. It is the first building in the world to use curved walls as the main structural support. The exterior of the opera house is composed of 58 curved walls and 29 caves, forming flowing spaces of different sizes, separated but connected to each other, like an organic form, showing freedom and intimacy with people. The design concept of the Opera House is "Bel Canto Culvert", which uses modern technology and building materials to liberate the hard and indifferent environment and transform the straight and hard urban outline into a soft field full of life force. The flowing water surrounding the venue and the image of the sky garden on the sixth floor break the binary distinction between stage and audience, indoor and outdoor, creating more possibilities for people to dialogue with architecture and art, returning to the "human" feeling. The National Opera House combines leisure, art, nature and humanity. In addition to first-class performance venues, there are also good restaurants, coffee shops, bookstores and gift shops. From the sky garden on the sixth floor, you can enjoy the brilliant night view of Taichung City.

The National Taichung Opera House is located in Xitun District, Taichung City. The exterior design is really beautiful. There are two different colored areas in the theater - the red Grand Theater area and the blue Medium Theater area. There are a grand theater, a medium theater, a small theater, a small outdoor theater and a sky garden. There are also restaurants, leisure areas, service desks, ticket offices, clothing stores, boutiques and parking lots... and other facilities. There are a lot of space for tourists to visit for free and check in and take photos. Opening hours: Tuesday to Thursday and Sunday 11:30am - 9pm Friday and Saturday 11:30am - 10pm (Closed on Monday) Address: No. 101, Section 2, Huilai Road, Xitun District, Taichung City, Taiwan #Taichung good places #Taichung attractions #Taichung travel #Taiwan city attractions

National Taichung Opera House is a great holiday destination for Taichung residents and foreigners! The opera house was designed by architect Toyo Ito, who was inspired by caves. The interior of the opera house is almost entirely composed of curves, making it very difficult to build. As soon as I walked into the opera house, I was amazed by the image of the cave! Being in such a space is a very enjoyable thing in itself. Walking around, every corner will bring you different scenery. The floor-to-ceiling windows are directly opposite to the Summer Green Park, and with the surrounding high-rise buildings, the view is great both during the day and at night. #Taiwan Local Tour

Designed by Toyo Ito, the National Taichung Theatre is a landmark for Taiwan. The facade is sculpted into an irregular form reflective of a coral reef. The interior awakens people’s memory of being inside the caves, where visitors can enjoy a kind of spatial experience. The organic curvaceous forms continue seamlessly inside the building. In the day time, you can have a beautiful view with the sun cast through the building. The night view is even more beautiful.

If you fancy handmade items, interesting decorative arts and have some time to spare to catch an opera, get away from typical shopping malls, drop by National Taichung Theatre! I appreciate the handy craft items and spent about 2 hours shopping around the bazaar. It featured leather crafts, accessories, bags, home decoration, snacks, etc. It is a short walk from Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Taichung.

Let’s visit the art gallery to welcome the festive holidays with friend and family or loved one . National Taichung Theater is huge with art gallery and theatres. The museum is using non-geometric architectural design for the wall and ceiling.
