Kiwi, with his childlike perspective and vividly imaginative illustrations, has inspired readers with boundless imagination and reflections on life, earning popularity among many readers. In recent years, Kiwi has stepped out of his picture books and into our lives, spreading across places like Yilan, Taitung, and Tainan, becoming some of the most beloved attractions.

● Tainan Shanhua – Lakeside Elegance Kiwi Park in STSP
Recently, a new Kiwi park within the Tainan Science Park has become a popular attraction. Though not large in size, the vibrant and colorful Kiwi characters from the picture books are scattered brightly across the green grass. A signboard, with a little cat clinging to it, reads “Where Wishes Bloom, a Place of Promises.” Plant a seed of dreams in the soil, make a small wish every day and work diligently to fulfill it, and the seed will gain the nutrients it needs to grow into beautiful heart-shaped leaves as a reward for your hard work.

Designed based on Kiwi’s picture book *If I Could Make a Wish*, the park features a little boy watering a hopeful sapling with a lamp-like watering can, a Viking kitty sitting on a wooden bridge staring blankly, and a round-eyed tabby cat stretching lazily on the bridge surface. This small green space is filled with endless imagination.

● Tainan Houpi – Tugou Village
This year, the Tugou Village Art Museum held a new exhibition. In addition to the existing rural walks, the museum once again invited the Bixilidan Creative Workshop and Kiwi to host a Flying Fish Party in the village. The deep blue lighting inside the venue makes visitors feel as if they’ve stepped into the ocean the moment they enter, gazing up at flying fish leaping and darting overhead. A whimsical adventure full of childlike fantasy is unfolding in this small rural setting.
