Nearly ten of the international professionals were visiting Taiwan for the first time, and they were deeply impressed by the local cultural landscape, safe environment, and MICE resources. Many expressed their intention to recommend Taiwan as a top MICE destination.Knowledge exchanges during the summit reaffirmed Taiwan's focus on sustainability and technology as the right development direction. Moving forward, MEET TAIWAN will continue to focus on these aspects to ensure that Taiwan's MICE industry maintains a pioneering position in the global MICE market.

Lighting Up Taichung International Convention and Exhibition Center and the Green Museumbrary

The 2024 Central Taiwan Lantern Festival will kick off at Taichung Central Park on February 16. In celebration of the Lantern Festival, Director Chen Da-Tian of the Taichung City Government's Construction Bureau will illuminate the Taichung International Convention and Exhibition Center and the Green Museumbrary. The unique appearance of these two buildings will be clearly visible both during the day and at night. As visitors play sports, take walks, or admire the lanterns at Central Park, they can also take in the view of the future landmark of Taichung from afar, take photos, and share them with friends and family.Director Chen explained that the spotlights on the eaves of the exhibition hall at the Taichung International Convention and Exhibition Center accentuate the architectural roof trusses and skyline. From the 76-meter-tall giant dragon main lantern area, visitors can admire the beauty of the exhibition center's magic carpet roof at night. As for the Green Museumbrary, the museum lobby adjacent to the park and the interior lights of the glass curtain wall at the administrative building facing Zhongke Road will also be illuminated, presenting visual transparency and the elegant artistic ambiance of the architecture.According to the Construction Bureau, the Taichung International Convention and Exhibition Center will be able to house 2,360 exhibition booths and a large international conference hall with 2,200 seats. International exhibitions and conferences held at the exhibition center will drive the development of the software, science, and industrial parks in central Taiwan. This will attract domestic and foreign companies to settle there, contributing to Taichung City Government's vision of "Prosperous Taichung, Wonderful Life". On the other hand, the Green Museumbrary, in addition to its distinctive architectural appearance, features the design principles of "innovation, people-oriented, and sharing". The museum and library both adopted co-constructed architecture, integrating various spaces within the buildings to stimulate visitor curiosity for knowledge exploration. The two buildings are independent yet interconnected in terms of shared resources. The Green Museumbrary's world-class architecture aims to inspire artistic readership and cultural dreams of Taichung's citizens.Source: Yahoo News https://tw.news.yahoo.com/%E5%8F%B0%E4%B8%AD%E5%9C%8B%E9%9A%9B%E6%9C%83%E5%B1%95%E4%B8%AD%E5%BF%83-%E7%B6%A0%E7%BE%8E%E5%9C%96%E9%BD%8A%E9%BB%9E%E7%87%88-102644411.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAACoGFpB2Nxncu5iypuwsgLM-hvRSKcXiYpIfcFtGC64p4PE0jnFQbEyWgoDRzMqUXlPGAY4yS5O7hoOsaYJ2p9GWOepQKj0myM89hTQyWT2RbCsg5tH8NBRNDdR-96VVLBq-byUevxt7nyGWUIe5pspwXhp_iV9XpFbdzQX8Rk_K
