Taipei City Government

The city government announced the opening of the “Water” exhibition at Pavilion of New Fashion in Taipei Expo Park on August 14. The exhibition will run for two years.

As the first expo hall in the world constructed with recycled PET bottles, the Pavilion of New Fashion is a green architectural landmark which has received much international media coverage since the days of the Flora Expo.

Following the conclusion of the floral showcase, the pavilion was donated to the city government by the Far Eastern Group. A total of 20 activities spanning art, recreation, health, and environmental education have taken place at the venue, among which a butterfly and botanical garden event attracted over 50,000 visitors.

To raise awareness on sustainability and the importance of natural resource recycling, the Pavilion of New Fashion will feature an exhibition dedicated to the dissemination of water-related knowledge, as well as incorporating public and private sector entities such as Industrial Technology Research Institute, Taiwan Public Television, National Geographic Channel, and others.

Guided tours will also be available for elementary and junior high school students, with the aim of reinforcing aqua education at an early age. The extracurricular program can also be integrated with trips to Zhongshan Family Center, Maji Marketplace, Taipei Fine Arts Museum, and other facilities in the proximity of the Pavilion of New Fashion.
