The Taoyuan Station commercial district is buzzing with a vibrant fusion of technology and culture, as demonstrated by the recent 'Southeast Asian Food Power: Taoyuan Flavors, Emotional Imagery' results presentation party. Co-hosted by the Taoyuan City Government and the Taoyuan Station Commercial District Association, with support from the USR team at Kainan University, the event highlighted the district's successful transition towards a more dynamic and culturally rich hub.
A key feature of the celebration was the premiere of 20 outstanding short videos, produced through a professional short video workshop. Guided by Kainan University instructor Zhao Zhesheng, students and faculty ventured into the alleys behind the station, capturing the heart and soul of local businesses like 'Adam Gui,' 'Yong Shun Small Eats,' 'Jiyang Department Store,' and 'Qing Xuan Vietnamese Head Spa.' Utilizing AI editing and new media narrative techniques, these videos tell the personal journeys and stories of the artisans and business owners, aiming to significantly enhance the district's visibility.
The team launched a professional short video workshop in April, led by Kainan University teacher Zhao Zhesheng, who guided students and teachers into the alleys of the rear area, using AI editing and new media narrative techniques to film short videos for businesses such as 'Adam Gui,' 'Yong Shun Small Eats,' 'Jiyang Department Store,' and 'Qing Xuan Vietnamese Head Spa,' presenting the artisans' journeys and stories.
Beyond the digital storytelling, the event offered a sensory journey with a 'Southeast Asian Afternoon Market.'

This initiative embodies the spirit of 'one district, one characteristic; one store, one story,' empowering local businesses to be seen, recognized, and shared. The city government pledges continued support to transform the Taoyuan Station's rear commercial district into a model area with digital influence and deep cultural diversity.
