They enabled visitors to immerse themselves in the charismatic, cultural routes of the island's resources.

In the Culture section, visitors could embark on a journey through the Island of Passion, where every creation is a grand undertaking that needs to be experienced in person. For example, "Hotel Archipelago" was built from network connection, so that different cultural workers in different areas of Taiwan can interact through video.

As for the Creative section, Ideal Adventure brought together creative and cultural brands from all over Taiwan, displaying an unforgettable style and fashion experience through a trendy selection of products. It also explored local originality through local revitalization and introduced a customized attitude towards life through a brand-new entry point.

Co-creating stories for the future

The Craft pavilion and the Craft Shop brought out a journey of life and survival through objects in travel. The City pavilions collected snippets of time on the island to present visions of the future, while the Chiayi pavilion embodied the new contemporary aesthetics of a modern city. Furthermore, the Matsu pavilion brewed new customs for the misty hours. The Response pavilion adopted the theme of Floating Island and took visitors through a dream-like reality that resembles a flight over Taiwan from perspectives.

Last but not least, the Licensing section saw a gathering of top IPs of the past, present, and future, where illustrated stories, digital entertainment, and more original creations transported visitors through a world of co-branding in the digital realm, unlocking a new market of endless links.
