It is famous for its spectacular "Dome of Light" art installation and is known as one of the "most beautiful subway stations in the world". The glass of the dome is divided into four theme areas of "water, earth, light, and fire", extending the sun, moon, land, and ocean, and also represents the sustainable cycle of nature. In addition, in the two central columns, blue represents yin and red represents yang, symbolizing the harmony of yin and yang and the harmonious integration of the whole world. There are 3 time periods for light shows every weekday, and 4 light shows on weekends. Fox feels that the light show here has a beauty that never gets boring, colorful, like a dream world. Standing in the center, you feel like you are in a palace of art. Any photo you take is beyond the movie. Free performance: Phoenix Wings Flying Light Sculpture Show The "Phoenix Wings Flying on Earth" performance venue is located at Formosa Boulevard Station.

Through the glory, disgrace, decline and rise of all things, it embodies the beauty of life. The main show design combines the ground projection with the mythological images of the four major animals located in the station, the Azure Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermillion Bird, and the Black Tortoise, and interprets the origin and prosperity of life with the four elements.

My husband loves curry pork chops, so since the Maiquan agency was forced to close, I have been trying to find delicious pork chops and curry in Kaohsiung. This time, I accidentally discovered a Kaohsiung MRT delicacy - Zao Zao Curry. Kao Kao Curry is located in the Mo Fan Shopping Center inside Formosa Boulevard Station. For a native Kaohsiung person, I was not very aware that there is such a dining space in the Kaohsiung MRT! There are many delicious restaurants in Mofan Shopping Mall, including ramen, Korean, beef noodles, coffee shops, bread, donuts, etc. I was shocked to see it! There were many people dining during dinner time, so we went directly to Kasu Kasu Curry Shop to enjoy our meal. The variety of Zazau curry is very diverse. Their curry is very rich. For a girl, it is quite filling, but my husband would like to have more rice. You can choose the curry as a set meal or a la carte, and there are also many cooking methods to choose from. The pork chop in Kasa Kasa curry is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The curry is very rich, especially their chili sauce which is really spicy and tastes very refreshing. The bread and soup are also excellent. It is really hard to imagine that there is such a great dining space and food in the MRT station! If you have the opportunity to take the Kaohsiung MRT, why not come here and look for some delicious food! #TaiwanLocalTour #Kaohsiung

#Taiwan City Attractions Formosa Boulevard Station can be said to be one of the landmarks of Kaohsiung. Designed by Japanese architect Shin Takamatsu, it uses prayer as its theme to commemorate the "Formosa Incident" that occurred here that year. The public art work inside the station, the "Dome of Light", was created by Italian artist Narcissus Quagliata over a period of four and a half years. 📍Address: Basement 1, No. 115, Zhongshan 1st Road, Xinxing District, Kaohsiung City 🕒Opening hours: First bus (red line) to Minami-Gangshan: 05:58 Last bus (red line) to Xiaogang: 00:29

When I first came to Formosa Boulevard, it was heavily publicized on the news and packed with people, so I could only see a few flashes of light in the messy crowd when I looked up, so I always felt cheated. It was a rainy day this time, and I stopped in front of Formosa Boulevard Station by accident. I went in thinking of taking shelter from the rain, but unexpectedly I encountered a light show. At 7pm, the dome will darken and a light show will be played on the floor. This large-scale performance, which is usually only held in the park, can be watched up close and for free. The performance lasted about fifteen minutes, and then after the show there was an interactive light and shadow design. Whenever someone stepped on it, flowers would grow under their feet, like a lotus growing in step. It was very interesting, and everyone walked out of a new work of art together. After the performance, the lights came on and I looked at the dome again. My mood was completely different from that time. Looking up from different angles, I saw different views. It is indeed the most beautiful MRT station in Kaohsiung. I can experience such high-quality performances and interactions in such a beautiful place, which surpasses many paid light and shadow exhibitions. I feel that today's rain is asking me to stop and appreciate the beauty that I missed. Address: Basement 1, No. 115, Zhongshan 1st Road, Xinxing District, Kaohsiung City Fee: Free

Kaohsiung Formosa Boulevard Station This is a fairly large station where two of Kaohsiung's subway lines cross. I didn't know that the stained glass was famous, so I was surprised at how beautiful it was. I was thinking of taking the bus, but I couldn't find a good time, so I'm glad I took the subway. Kaohsiung's roads are wide, so it's difficult to walk or take the bus (compared to other cities). It was convenient to travel by light rail (streetcar) and subway. It was a luxurious station with a beautiful night view and a flashy Kaohsiung-like feel. #TaiwanTrip #Kaohsiung #Subway #777

I have fallen in love with this little corner since college. In the early days after I arrived, I would find a book nearby and read a few pages, looking for a moment when my heart was at peace. Over time, I found that doing nothing seemed to recharge my soul, so fortunately I just left it alone. Occasionally, I felt confused in life, and at those times I just wanted to lie quietly on the sofa. The painting in front of me is always hard to understand, but it seems to attract my attention. In the last few days, thank you for giving me the opportunity to recall these moments again. Maybe I am not necessarily happy when I think about them, but my fate with this place will not become history or leave my heart. Trail Cafe has started again and will continue to heal travelers in the new space. We wish the trail the best and look forward to seeing you soon. #caféstradatrailcoffee #Formosa Boulevard Station #Kaohsiungcafe #I want you to be a witness to my life #Things I still remember

Kaohsiung's Formosa Boulevard Station is also ranked second in the world's most beautiful train stations. The world's largest stained glass art, the Dome of Light, is a must-see, with a diameter of 30 meters and an area of ​​660 square meters! What's more, this beautiful art is located right outside the station ticket gates, and you can enjoy it for free. The Liuhe Night Market, which is bustling with locals and tourists, is located nearby, so if you go in the evening and enjoy the night market at the same time, it's a double bargain.

I heard that this Shantou hotpot restaurant does not accept reservations before 8 o'clock and you have to queue up on site, which must have aroused a lot of expectations. Located near Formosa Boulevard MRT Station, this Shantou hotpot soup base offers a variety of choices. Pei's portions are also quite rich and the prices are very affordable. There is a paid parking lot opposite, but the alley is a bit narrow, so please be careful when driving. It is more convenient if you take the MRT. Just exit from Exit 1 and you will see it quickly. The store is not very spacious, but it can accommodate many customers so the waiting time is not too long. There are toilets on each floor, so you don’t have to wait too long to go to the bathroom. We ordered two pots, one is the famous Shantou flat fish hot pot soup base, and the other is the Northeastern sauerkraut and pork hot pot soup base. It is recommended that if there are more people, we can split the two pots. One pot base is only $200. The soup base is based on the Shantou flat fish hot pot and the sauerkraut and pork hot pot, and the seasoning is added to make the base taste the same as the Shantou hot pot. The side dishes will be placed on a small cart next to it, which is quite considerate and will not take up everyone's dining space👍👍👍 As for the side dishes, I think the spicy chicken is pretty good, and the moon pancake is also okay. As for the stir-fried beef and pork, they are just average. The meat is quite thick, but I feel like the meat slices in the five-fresh hotpot are more delicious (I was really afraid of getting beaten). Thank you dear second brother for paying the bill and treating everyone to a sumptuous dinner. Being able to enjoy this delicious food with my family is even better:) #ShantouQuanCheng

#Overseas travel #Kaohsiung travel #Kenting travel #Taiwan travel My Kaohsiung & Kenting trip started after watching Battle Trip Lovelyz Miju & Jisoo's travelogue 🆗 Maybe because I rented a car, my feet weren't as tired, and most of all, there weren't many Koreans at each tourist attraction, so I felt like I was the only one who knew about it, so I spent 3 nights and 4 days in a row.

I really think the Dome of Light at Kaohsiung Formosa Boulevard Station is super stunning. Once you walk in, the space is surrounded by lights and feels very dreamy. I originally just wanted to take the MRT and pass by to take a look, but I couldn't take my eyes off it when I stood there. It's so beautiful. Especially the picture made of colored glass, it looks a bit like a church but more spectacular than a church, with light and a sense of story. I think not only tourists, but also local people in Kaohsiung should go and see it. When the lights are turned on at night, the atmosphere is super exciting. I also took a lot of photos there silently, and they look good no matter how I take them. It's really worth a special trip. Standing there, you will have a sense of surprise that "Wow, there is such an artistic place in Taiwan."
