The “So Young Taoyuan Is!” event promises a contemporary mix of hip-hop, pop, and DJ sets.

An interactive feature allows visitors to employ AI system programming to infuse their personal artistic flair into traditional Hakka elements displayed on a bamboo ring.

The Taiwan Pavilion provides an immersive journey through the Hakka culture across Taiwan’s regions, while the World Pavilion gives insights into Hakka settlements in 20 countries using AI-driven art in a ring-centric display. The experience aims to deepen understanding and appreciation of Hakka history and lifestyle.

Before concluding their visit, attendees can engage with the “Hakka AI robot,” an interactive experience that allows for Hakka language conversations and memory-building games.
