What to expect

The Hengshan Calligraphy Art Museum, named after the traditional regional designation, is situated beside the Hengshan Pond waterfront in Taoyuan. The main building consists of a shape composed of five seal stones, combined with the imagery of an inkstone grinding ink. Embraced by the pond and the shifting light and shadow of the setting sun, it reflects a natural ink-wash painting environment that complements its surroundings. The overall architecture has won numerous awards, including the 2018 National Excellent Construction Award “Best Planning and Design Category” Gold Award, the 2022 Taiwan Architecture Award, the 2022 Global Real Estate Federation (FIABCI) Global Excellence Awards Gold Award, the 2022 Japan Good Design Award, the 2022 Shopping Design Award, and the honor of being one of the top ten exhibition platforms.
