Everyone’s walked around traditional markets during the day, but have you ever visited one after hours? One exhibition at the Taitung Expo is encouraging just that, remaking the Central Market through projections, light, and sound to offer a novel experience reminiscent of shopping at a traditional market. Through the exhibition, the old shopping area has been given new life, inviting people to slow down and rediscover this local landmark.

Brilliant multicolored neon flashes along to electronic music, forming an array of glowing shapes. The pounding rhythm and dazzling lights transform this space into a kaleidoscope world of mesmerizing interest.

But how come this sign hanging above in flashing red and green says “Freshly caught tilapia,” “50 per caddy”? These traditional market furnishings contrast sharply with the nightclub atmosphere. But it isn’t a newly opened nightclub—it’s Taitung’s Central Market.

Finds market cool
We found out about it online. It’s a wonderful surprise! Very different from how the Central Market is normally. It’s cool.

It’s very different than usual, like a nightclub.

From selling vegetables, fish, and meat during the day, the Central Market usually quiets down late in the afternoon. But for this year’s Taitung Expo, artists took the chance to reimagine the space into something resembling a nightclub. The trendy transformation has stopped many visitors in their tracks, who linger taking photo after photo.

If there weren’t an event like this, people wouldn’t come. But doing this brings in more people and helps them get to know the area better.

This year’s Taitung Expo hopes to encourage visitors to slow down and explore the city. From a traditional market filled with the shouts of vendors selling their wares, to a bumping nightclub destination at night, this old venue is recapturing its glory days while launching headfirst into the 21st century.
