The Tongxiao Sand Sculpture Arts Festival has officially opened at Tongxiao Seaside Park, bringing together international sand sculpture artists from around the world and top sculptors from Taiwan. Centered on the theme "Carefree Sand City," the event features 22 imaginative and visually striking sand sculptures.
With the core concept of "dialogue with the world," this festival blends contemporary issues, local culture, and global perspectives. The works span a range of themes including ecological sustainability, humanities, fantasy, and global peace, inviting visitors into a free, abundant, and imaginative kingdom of sand.
The exhibition is divided into three major themed areas: the Collaborative Creation Zone, the Carefree Theme Zone, and the International Sand Sculpture Zone. The highlight of the event is a Taiwan first, a monumental 70 meter long interconnected sculpture titled "Sustainability and Peace." This monumental work showcases majestic sand castles, mythical figures, and iconic landmarks from around the world, showcasing the extraordinary expressive power of sand sculpture.
The festival runs from July 12 through September 14, with daily hours from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM and free admission. During the event, visitors can enjoy hands-on family sand sculpting experiences, themed weekend activities, and nighttime light shows. The festival not only showcases Miaoli’s rich cultural heritage but also uses sand sculpture as a vibrant medium for international exchange, inviting the world to discover Miaoli and helping Miaoli connect globally.
