[Chiayi] Chiayi Song of the Forest

Posted on by phototravel
If you have the chance to take a train passing near Chiayi Railway Station recently, you might notice a new egg-shaped structure made of yellow rattan by the tracks. This unique and mysterious attraction is Chiayi’s new landmark—the Song of the Forest.
 
Officially opened in August 2012, the Song of the Forest is the work of artist Wang Wen-Chih. It shares a similar artistic spirit with the “Moon Reflection in the Lake” at Lantan Reservoir, but the Forest Song is even more eye-catching.
 
While the Song of the Forest’s distinctive shape is noticeable during the day, its true brilliance shines at night when it is illuminated with yellow lights. The interplay of light and shadow through the rattan structure creates a mesmerizing effect, making it a popular spot for night photography in Chiayi.

The egg-shaped structure cleverly uses gaps to allow light and shadow to penetrate and seep through
