Sun & Associates have recently released a proposal to build an [eco-friendly terminal for passengers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rosie-travel) at the [Port of Kaohsiung](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-economy1), Taiwan. The terminal will be the only one of its kind, with intentions to meet the needs of Kaohsiung city's growing cultural relevance.

The terminal will be integrated with modern [green technologies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/telangana) together with other standard facilities, like public and underground parking, conference centers and an office. It seems that the green movement will continue with the help of Sun & Associates.
