- Introduction to the Queen of Taiwan Island -
Taiwan's largest drag queen brand promotes drag culture in Taiwan and hopes to jointly advance gender equality and a diverse rainbow economy entertainment industry! The RuPaul's Drag Queen show in the United States brought drag queens into mainstream culture, creating a drag industry and generating immense revenue. Following Niffia's victory in the RuPaul's Drag Queen show, and given Taiwan's special status as a beacon of freedom and civil rights in Asia and a leading country in LGBTQIA+, Taiwan's Taiwan Entertainment hopes to create even more rainbow economy by building a drag queen industry chain.

- Recommended Gay-Friendly Attractions -
*The following are all attractions not included on the bus route that are LGBTQ+ friendly and culturally relevant. Please be aware of this!
- The Pier-2 Art Center's Rainbow Landmark embodies the pursuit of equality and human rights, with the rainbow always a symbol of equality. Located in the Pier-2 Art Center in Kaohsiung, the Rainbow Landmark is not only a must-visit spot for social media influencers but also makes Kaohsiung a truly loving city! Easily accessible by MRT or light rail, the former warehouses have been transformed into a must-see arts and cultural attraction in Kaohsiung. Every day, it welcomes visitors with open arms, hosting countless exciting exhibitions and events annually. In front of the red container installation "Giant's Blocks," a massive rainbow landscape, 20 meters long and 18 meters wide, is composed of 12 diagonal stripes of six colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. The eye-catching "KAOHSIUNG" lettering is prominently displayed. Surrounded by Kaohsiung Harbor, warehouses, and the harbor city's characteristic scenery along the light rail route, the vibrant landscape, set against the backdrop of the azure sea and sky, exudes the passion of the harbor city!
- Deconstructing the Rainbow Path: From designing small items to curating exhibitions, Microwave Wave Design Studio experiments with the possibilities of content and design within a space, bringing important issues to the forefront through spatial curation. From its inception in 2013 to its establishment as a studio in 2020, and now celebrating its fifth anniversary in 2025, the studio is currently holding a five-year touring exhibition, which will be held at the Sanyu Bookstore in Kaohsiung in November!
This exhibition, "Deconstructing the Rainbow Path," shares the curatorial process of preparing an exhibition, showcasing our collaborations with various NGOs over the past few years. Combining LGBTQ+ issues with design thinking, we hope that anyone interested in either topic or design will find interesting perspectives. We believe that each individual is a small ripple, but when many act together, they create a powerful wave. The Ripples Create Waves — Microwave Wave Creation
