If you're an "Aesthete" like me, you're gonna love this place A LOT and I'm not kidding! this architectural marvel was designed by the "2013 Pritzker Architecture Prize Awardee" - Architect Toyo Ito, so be prepare for some great expectations! The exterior façade itself was majestic enough to entice you to come and enjoy what's inside the structure. What you are about to see are these undulating curves that envelopes the interior paired with simple white textured walls that gives you the feeling of softness and modernity at the same time. At Level 6 (The Sky Garden), you will be greeted by the bright blue skies and the towering buildings that coexist within the perimeter of the structure. Strolling around the sky garden was also an eventful experience and chance to reflect and appreciate the beauty of co-existing nature of the concrete buildings and the urban landscape. There's also a coffee shop on level 6 in case you wanted to have a drink after/before exploring and there's also a toilet nearby just straight ahead past the coffee shop entrance.
By the time I got here to visit, the theater area itself was not open in public to explore unless there's a concert or performance to be held according to the information desk so there's that. (I really think that's the most important part of the structure that I've missed!)
To wrap things up, National Taichung Theater was easy to explore and navigate and you will not get lost inside! there's a lot of souvenir items on the ground floor (TIP: there's still cheap ones despite that a lot of the display items are quite pricey in my opinion, so always be vigilant!) and I believe there's a café area or restaurant of some sort that is also there in the ground floor to cater your food cravings or if you're planning to date someone, it's actually a good location to set 😊. Again there's NO ENTRANCE FEE so it's a big plus to those on a budget tour.
This will probably one of my unforgettable experience in my life and I hope yours too when you're planning to visit, it was rewarding and an aesthetic candy to those appreciates the beauty of space and materiality, "TRULY AN ARCHITECTURAL MARVEL...
