What can you do on a spring holiday besides flower viewing? Spring art fills the air in Kaohsiung. The Indigo Hotel has partnered with the Kaohsiung Philharmonic Arts Foundation to host an exclusive outdoor symphonic event just for spring, allowing visitors to lie on the grass at the Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts and spend a relaxing, leisurely evening.

▲ Kaohsiung’s grassland concert is now in its eighth year.

Kaohsiung’s grassland concert has entered its eighth year. This year, it is led by British conductor Neil Thomson, featuring the Kaohsiung Symphony Orchestra, the Kaohsiung City Choir, and a piano soloist performing many of Mozart’s masterpieces — an audiovisual feast dedicated to Mozart. The concert starts at 7:00 PM and runs for 180 minutes. Afterward, head up to the hotel’s rooftop Pier No.1 bar to admire the dazzling night view of the port city, letting the music linger in your mind as you enjoy a slightly tipsy evening.

▲ The Indigo Hotel is Kaohsiung’s first “international-level” hotel.

The Indigo Hotel is Kaohsiung’s first “international-level” hotel, a boutique chain under the InterContinental Hotels Group. Its rooftop Pier No.1 bar has become a popular spot for photos recently. If you’re planning a laid-back spring trip to Kaohsiung, stay on March 4 or 5 for a nightly rate of NT$4000+15%, upgrade to an Indigo Deluxe Room with breakfast included, and receive one grassland concert ticket per person.
