The corridor's design incorporates a series of repeating geometric arches that create a tunnel-like optical effect for pedestrians.
The structure functions as a primary pedestrian artery within Xinying Park, facilitating movement during periods of intense heat or rain.
The location is situated in the immediate vicinity of the historic Xinying District, a region known for its legacy as a regional administrative and cultural hub.
The Qicai Corridor, or Seven-Color Corridor, is a distinctive pedestrian walkway located within the Xinying Park complex in Tainan City. The structure is characterized by its arched, multi-colored roofing system that provides sheltered passage for park visitors. It serves as a central architectural feature connecting different recreational zones within the Xinying District public green space. The walkway is elevated and follows a gentle path, designed to blend with the surrounding landscape of the park. It functions primarily as a shaded leisure route that remains accessible year-round for locals and tourists. The area surrounding the corridor includes manicured gardens and open lawns, which are managed by the Tainan City Government.

Visit during the early morning or late afternoon to take advantage of the natural light patterns filtering through the colored roof panels.
Wear comfortable walking shoes, as the corridor connects to extensive walking trails that span the larger park area.
Carry mosquito repellent, as the park’s lush vegetation and proximity to water features can lead to increased insect activity.
Avoid visiting during midday in the summer months due to high humidity and intense heat common in the Tainan region.
