(Central News Agency reporter Huang Hsu-sheng and Wang Hung-kuo in New Taipei City on the 16th) With the imminent opening of the MRT San-Ying Line, the New Taipei City Government is evaluating the cultural construction benefits along the route, hoping to leverage convenient transportation to drive visitor traffic and development for the New Taipei City Art Museum and Hakka Cultural Park, overturning previous low utilization rates, and further promoting cultural participation and industrial growth.
The New Taipei MRT San-Ying Line will become a crucial transportation artery connecting Sanxia and Yingge districts. The city government states that major transportation infrastructure not only improves commuting but also serves as an important foundation for implementing cultural policies, revitalizing cultural facilities along the route by introducing a stable flow of people through rail transport.
The New Taipei City Art Museum is positioned as an exhibition platform combining local culture and international art, with the capacity for large-scale exhibitions and cross-disciplinary curation. Previously, due to inconvenient transportation and insufficient surrounding amenities, visitor numbers were below expectations, even leading to external questioning as a "mosquito hall" (underutilized facility).
The biggest change brought by transportation infrastructure is the reduction of travel time and lowering the barrier to visitation. With the opening of the San-Ying Line, the city government hopes to connect with the Taipei metropolitan area via MRT, forming a transfer network at stations, enhancing the visibility and accessibility of cultural venues and parks.
The New Taipei City Government points out that the MRT is not just a mode of transport but also a platform for integrating cultural resources, helping to guide tourists and citizens into cultural areas, attracting more people and international visitors.
Chang Chi-wen, Director of the Yingge Ceramics Museum, told the Central News Agency that by combining local crafts and cultural resources, through pottery experiences, exhibitions, and market activities, people can feel the charm of local culture. This includes courses taught by local Yingge "Lin's Workshop," combining Sanxia honey, Bi Luo Chun tea, and honey-scented black tea to make madeleines, and pottery courses at the Ceramics Museum showcasing spring scenery.
Additionally, Chang Chi-wen said that DIY experiences allow participants to paint their own San-Ying Line MRT trains, transforming the beautiful scenery of Sanxia and Yingge into practical, cute, and commemorative ceramic models. The Ceramics Museum's cultural short trips offer tea tasting to experience the layers of tea aroma, coffee tasting for a mellow flavor, and extended visits to the Sanxia Li Mei-shu Memorial Hall, Canlove Culture and Creative Park, and local creative cultural hubs, deepening the travel experience.
Regarding Hakka culture, Liu Kuan-yin, Director of the New Taipei City Hakka Affairs Bureau, told the Central News Agency that through improved transportation, the Sanxia Hakka Cultural Park is undergoing transformation and upgrading, developing towards a family-friendly and experiential learning space. She stated that in addition to strengthening Hakka cultural exhibitions, interactive facilities and activities are being introduced to increase young people's willingness to participate, deepen Hakka language and heritage, and strengthen its cultural education function.
Chang Ai-yu, Director of the Cultural Affairs Bureau, believes that a stable flow of people will further promote the development of the art industry, attracting exhibitions, creative works, and cultural and creative industries. Overall, the San-Ying Line is not just a transportation infrastructure but is viewed as a key artery connecting cultural strongholds. Its success in attracting visitor traffic and revitalizing cultural venues will be an important indicator for evaluating the effectiveness of New Taipei's cultural policy.
