Celebrating cultural heritage and fostering community engagement, our vision for the Taichung High-Speed Rail Section is a transformative mixed-use, transit-oriented development (TOD). By integrating innovative architecture with ecological stewardship, we aim to establish a lasting symbol of the city’s progressive spirit, offering new opportunities for exploration and shopping.
