This summer, the Pingtung County Government Cultural Affairs Department is introducing the special “Pingtung Tobacco Night School” program. From July through the end of August, Pingtung Tobacco 1936 Cultural Base will extend its opening hours until 8 p.m. every Friday and Saturday, inviting visitors to experience a unique nighttime museum atmosphere and enjoy a cultural journey featuring exhibitions, performances, and interactive activities.

According to the Cultural Affairs Department, cultural venues provide an ideal escape from the summer heat. Visitors can explore attractions such as the Pingtung Art Museum and Tobacco Leaf Museum in the evening and experience a different perspective of these cultural spaces. Special workshops on July 11, August 15, and August 22 will feature handicrafts, performance experiences, and body movement exploration, encouraging creativity and self-expression through hands-on participation.

The highlight event, the “Night Music Party,” will take place on August 29, combining guided nighttime tours and live performances. Visitors will be able to stroll through the cultural base while enjoying music and illuminated scenery. In addition, various cultural venues across Pingtung will host performances by artists including Tsao Ya-wen, Chun Noodle Band, Nana Master, Mian Bai Da Zhang Fu, and Sound Chamber Orchestra.

The Cultural Affairs Department welcomes visitors from across Taiwan to explore Pingtung during the summer. Participants who collect five stamps in the limited-edition summer stamp booklet can redeem exclusive commemorative gifts and create unforgettable summer memories through art and culture.
