Text by MOOK Scenic Spots Editorial Team

Songshan Airport has a new highlight: the terminal 2 mall operated by President Chain Store Corp., after more than half a year of planning and design, has officially opened. Centered around the theme "Songshan Takes Flight · Art Meets Flavor," it offers a brand-new leisure space. The space incorporates designs inspired by Taiwan’s iconic attractions. In addition to featuring nine well-known national brands, the 1F area combines elements from “Bloggers’ Future Bookstore” to serve as a cultural and creative exhibition platform. Moreover, the 3F observation deck is the only spot within an airport in Taiwan where visitors can get an up-close view of airplanes taking off and landing. Leveraging this prime location, a 3D painted wall titled "Aviation Citizens' Stage" has been created, adding more enjoyment for both passengers and plane-spotters.

This domestic terminal commercial facility is themed “Taiwan Blue Magpie Soaring in the Sky,” and designed around three major concepts: “Golden Impressions of High-Yield Sorghum Fields,” “Sea of Golden Tuberose in Penghu,” and “Golden Wave of Daylilies on Liushishi Mountain in Hualien.” To cater to travelers’ needs, it introduces a diverse range of brand outlets, including dining, coffee, fast food, convenience stores, souvenir shops, and aviation-themed stores, welcoming visitors with a fresh new look.

Upon entering the mall, the first thing you see is Taiwan’s endemic bird, the “Taiwan Blue Magpie.” Its flight across the sky symbolizes the takeoff of Songshan. The 1F area features golden impressions of Kinmen sorghum fields and sea of tuberose in Penghu, while the 2F food court transforms into the golden wave of daylilies on Liushishi Mountain in Hualien, combining Taiwan’s beautiful landscapes to convey a rich and flavorful imagery.

The mall also introduces well-known brands such as 7-ELEVEN, Yuzhenxin, MOS Burger, Shuncheng Cake, Cairshop aviation store, and Fuxing Aviation Lounge, offering a variety of convenient stores, fast food, and gift options for travelers. To meet passengers’ need for quick meals, there are diverse fast-food choices including 7-ELEVEN, MOS Burger, and Shuncheng Cake. There are also choices for souvenirs and memorabilia, such as Yuzhenxin and the Aviation Souvenir Shop.
