PINGTUNG, Taiwan -- Taiwan's southernmost county of Pingtung will soon commence building a world-cla

ss performing arts complex, county government officials disclosed yesterday.

The officials said the Cabinet-level Council for Economic Planning and Development (DEPD) had approved a NT$1.1 billion (US$34 million) budget for the five-year project a day earlier.

The performing arts complex will have a main theater with a seating capacity of 1,200 and a smaller theater that can accommodate 300 people. Other facilities include an administrative center, an outdoor amphitheater and a parking lot for 400 vehicles.

When completed, the complex will become the Pingtung Count's new landmark, the officials said.

The performing arts center will be located at the former site of the Kaohsiung District Agricultural Research and Extension Station next to the Pingtung University of Education.
