Guided by its vision of diversified development and international connectivity, CITYLINK Nangang has created a vibrant Shopping Resort that integrates retail, dining, transportation, entertainment, and hospitality while supporting social initiatives and creative brands. Through its weekly themed markets, the venue provided nearly 1,500 booths for cultural and charitable brands throughout 2025, making it one of Taipei’s leading platforms for public-interest markets and a new model of rail-oriented commercial development.
During the Christmas weekend, CITYLINK Nangang invited SHOWART and the Art Equity Association (AEA) to join the themed market. Centered on art, culture, and life education, the event brought warmth, companionship, and creativity into the Nangang community. On December 25 and 26, visitors were invited to experience art in an approachable way, support charitable initiatives, and help create a more inclusive and vibrant urban community.
