The "Botany Academy" exhibition takes Tianwei as its school, inviting you to study the most down-to-earth curriculum—Tianwei Studies. Through interviews and the firsthand stories of residents, this exhibition presents Tianwei's rural settlements and floral industry, as well as the many dimensions of life here, from native plant education to floral artistry, allowing visitors to understand this land of plants from a local perspective. As Tianwei moves toward the next fifty years, the visitor center will turn into a performance and exhibition base that combines education, culture, participation, and brand interpretation. It will embody four themes: Embracing the Local, Exploring the Island, Floral Lifestyle, and Shaping the Future. Guiding visitors from passive spectatorship to active participation, and from looking back at the past to envisioning what is to come, this center offers a journey of deep learning and creative imagination about Tianwei.
