🌈✨ *Dome of Light (光之穹頂): The World’s Largest Glass Mosaic at Formosa Boulevard Station* 🚇🎨

#chinatravel Step into Kaohsiung’s **Formosa Boulevard MRT Station** and look up—the **Dome of Light**, a **4,500 glass-panel masterpiece**, transforms the ceiling into a swirling galaxy of color. Created by Italian artist **Narcissus Quagliata**, this is *public art meets spiritual journey*. ### **🌟 *MUST-SEE HIGHLIGHTS*:** - **The Cosmic Narrative:** The dome tells a **4-part story**—Water, Earth, Light, and Fire—through **vibrant glass mosaics**. 🌊🔥 - **Interactive Light Shows:** At **7 PM daily**, LED animations dance across the dome (best viewed from the center!). 💡 - **Underground Mall:** Hunt for **local souvenirs** and **bubble tea** at the station’s shops. 🧋 ### **💡 *TRAVEL TIPS*:** - **Visit Off-Peak:** Crowds thin after **9 AM** or before **5 PM**. - **360° View:** Walk the **entire circumference** to spot hidden details (like the *Phoenix and Dragon* symbols). 🐉 - **Pair with Liuhe Night Market:** Just **1 stop away** on the Orange Line. 🍢 ### **📸 *INSTA-WORTHY SPOTS*:** - **Lying on the floor** (yes, it’s allowed!) for a **full dome selfie**. 🤳 - **Silhouetted against the “Fire” section** at sunset. **#domeoflight #kaohsiungart #taiwantravel #hiddenmrtgem** *This isn’t just a station—it’s a* cathedral of light. *Pause. Look up. Breathe.* ✨ **🚇 *Getting There:* Formosa Boulevard Station (Red/Orange MRT lines).** *Free to view!* *P.S. Try **mango shaved ice** at *Ice Monster* nearby!* 🥭🍧
