This is the ceiling of the Kaohsiung MRT Formosa Blvd Station;
better know as the “Dome of Light”. Pretty amazing for a metro station located
in Sinsing District of Kaohsiung, Taiwan. This is the largest glass work in the
world. It was designed by Italian artist Narcissus Quagliata, and its 30 meters
in diameter and covers 2,180 sq meters, and has 4.500 glass panels, wow! When I
first saw this amazing ceiling, I thought this was making a true statement of
civic pride, and this place is very clean, like all the MRT stations in Taiwan. We were
taking the bullet train or high speed rail as they are called to Tainan, quick trip at 200
mph.
