Taichung City Seaport Art Center- The Center is located in the culturally rich town of Qingshui and built among rolling artificial hills and flat land. The overall planning of the grounds takes inspiration from the idea of “courtyard space”; the architecture design simulates the building style of southern Fu-chien, exuding humble elegance.
