With 2.7 million inhabitants, the little-known city of Kaohsiung is not only the largest port city in Taiwan but also one of the largest in the world. Now the National Kaohsiung Center for the Arts, open since October, may suddenly increase the city’s name recognition. The cultural centre in the 65-hectare Weiwuying Metropolitan Park seats nearly 6000 people in its opera house, playhouse, concert hall and recital hall.
