Listen to music in a fashionable way and immerse yourself in Kaohsiung KMC
When a city is willing to build a landmark for "music", we can know that it values and is proud of its culture.
When you come to Kaohsiung, the Kaohsiung Music Center (KMC) located by the harbor is not only a concert venue, but also a large cultural community that combines music, design, sea view and fashion.
When you walk in here, you don't need to rush or queue up to check in. Just slow down and you will find that music is actually in the air.
🎤 A holy place for musicians and an adventure park for the audience
The Kaohsiung Pop Music Center has a very wide area, including:
The Ocean Music Hall: can accommodate more than 5,000 people and is the main concert venue
LIVE WAREHOUSE (Pier-2 Music Hall): hosts small performances in the form of a live house
The Sound Wave Tower: looks like a future starship, and is the location of exhibitions and multi-functional spaces
Whale Bank and Coral Reef Group Buildings: public spaces extending along the harbor with a strong sense of design
From large idol group concerts, Golden Melody Awards ceremonies, to independent bands and city music festivals, music events are held here almost every month. Even if you don’t come here to watch a performance today, you can feel the love for music here.
🏙️ The building is super easy to take pictures, futuristic during the day × dreamy light sculptures at night
If you are an architecture enthusiast or a photography enthusiast, this is simply a paradise for taking pictures. The Pop Music Center building during the day is like an alien base, and the structural lines of the Sound Wave Tower, Ocean Music Hall, and Coral Reef Group are very avant-garde.
At night, the entire park is lit up with blue and purple lights, and the reflection of the harbor water and the night view of Kaohsiung Harbor are so beautiful that it looks like a MV scene. Many couples or photographers come here to take pictures of the night view.
And if you walk up from the Sound Wave Tower, you can also overlook Cijin, Shoushan and the 85 Building. It is especially recommended during sunset!
🎶 Not only listen to music, but also "play music" and "understand the music industry"
There are exhibitions inside the Sound Wave Tower from time to time, with themes ranging from pop music history, record culture, to special exhibitions of southern musicians. The content is novel and interactive, not just static displays. There is also a training space here, which has become the starting point for many new creators to dream of taking off.
Outdoor public spaces often host small music events, DJ parties, flash exhibitions, and sometimes student performances, street performers or cultural and creative markets. Even if you just pass by, you may accidentally hear great live music.
