Frequently Asked Questions

Visitors will see a vineyard-style seating arrangement and the largest pipe organ in Asia, which features over 7,000 pipes built by the German company Johannes Klais Orgelbau.
Take the Kaohsiung MRT Orange Line to Weiwuying Station (O10) and use Exit 6, which connects directly to the center's basement level via an underground walkway.
Most formal evening performances restrict entry to children under seven years old, but the center hosts dedicated family matinees and offers an open outdoor theater space suitable for all ages.
The entire facility is barrier-free with ramp access, accessible elevators to all performance halls, and designated wheelchair seating areas in the Concert Hall, Grand Theater, Playhouse, and Recital Hall.
Late afternoon is ideal, as the setting sun illuminates the curved, banyan-like roof structure and casts distinct shadows through the open-air courtyards before the evening performance lights turn on.

Weiwuying Art and Culture Center is located in Fengshan District, Kaohsiung City, adjacent to Weiwuying Metropolitan Park. The total site area is 9.9 hectares, of which the building area is 3.3 hectares. The sonic streamlined appearance and the free curve of white waves slide into the ground with a smooth arc, cleverly integrating with the surrounding environment. Designed by Dutch architect Francine Houban, the old banyan trees in Weiwuying were inspired by the design. The banyan trees, which are over 100 years old, have intertwined roots and branches, and the virtual and real scenes complement each other, which opened up the architect's imagination of giving Weiwuying a sense of penetration and breathing rhythm. The whole building allows people to walk into the venue from all directions without hindrance, and the transparent space extending from the roof of the hall is the Banyan Tree Plaza open to the public 24 hours a day, where people can freely shuttle through, move and rest freely. A fence-free art center not only helps air flow, but also creates a sense of space where the theater and life are zero distance. The Weiwuying Arts and Culture Center opened on October 13, 2018, actively developing the performing arts environment in southern Taiwan and becoming an important art base that connects with the international community.
