Taichung Travel: Fun Day at Lihpao Land 麗寶樂園度假區


Travel Date: 2023/10/14

My husband's company organized a family day and invited workers with their families to the Amusement Park in Taichung called 'Lihpao Land 麗寶樂園度假區'. It was my first time visiting an amusement park in Taiwan. 
I can say it was really crowded. The wait time for most things was over an hour. Since we have a child, we also couldn't enjoy many of the attractions as he's too short. Since we only played on rides for smaller kids, it was a bit boring, but I did find two things that were really fun (the first two pictures below).
I'm still editing the video, and it's more fun to watch than the pictures. Feel free to subscribe to my YouTube channel to see the most recent videos about life in Taiwan and Poland, as well as some cooking and baking recipes.

Initially, we didn't have raincoats, but my husband's coworker gave us some. It was good to have them because we (especially our son) quickly got splashed with a lot of water. His shoes were soaking wet afterward, but at least in mid-October, the weather is still great in Taiwan, with temperatures around 30 degrees. As October comes to an end, we get cooler weather and winds. Recently, in Miaoli, it was around 20 degrees, but with the wind, it feels even cooler. In weather like this, people are already wearing long pants and jackets, especially when riding scooters.

There were a few companies that also organized a family day at Lihpao Land. At noon, we had lunch with all the other workers and their families, around 200 people, I believe. The food was really delicious. The atmosphere was quite quiet since most people didn't know each other, and everyone had assigned seats, so even the workers were meeting each other for the first time. My husband mainly works from home and doesn't know many of his coworkers.













What can you enjoy at Lihpao Land?

The site where the theme park is located today was formerly a ranch owned by the Taiwan Sugar Corporation. The theme park, which covers an area of 200 hectares, was initially established in July 1998 under the name 'Yamay Recreation World' or 'Yamay Discovery World.' In 2012, it underwent a name change and was rebranded as 'Lihpao Land.

We obtained tickets to Discovery World, which offers over 30 attractions designed for people of different ages. I wasn't brave enough to try the rides for adults, as they seemed too fast and scary. 
Lihpao Land also has Mala Bay with 11 water attractions, an outdoor theater, and the ability to create waves up to 3 meters high. It's also home to Taiwan's largest Ferris wheel - Sky Dream, with a diameter of 120 meters, reaching a maximum elevation of 384 meters and featuring 60 luxury observation cars.

Lihpao Land has constructed the largest escape room-themed attraction in Taiwan, offering three major scenarios and nine themed games.
Lihpao International Racing Park is Taiwan's only G2 racetrack and karting racetrack accredited by the FIA and CIK. It boasts Taiwan's longest karting track, spanning over 1.5 km, with the most powerful karts imported from Italy. The highly anticipated F2 track for a G2-level racetrack is 3.5 km long, featuring 23 turns and the only one with a height difference of up to 5 stories along the track

You can also stay at Lihpao Fullon Hotel, which is located within the Lihpao resort and can accommodate over 1,000 people. The other hotel, T11 T12 Racing Theme Hotel, is the only racing-themed hotel in Taiwan.
Another part of the area is the Lihpao Outlet Mall, which offers top domestic and international sports and leisure brands, as well as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and souvenirs imported directly from Hokkaido, Japan. 

The parking fee is NT$20 per hour, with the first hour free. The maximum daily rate is NT$120. For motorcycles, the fee is NT$50.








The food that day included several appetizers, 'Buddha Jump Over the Wall' soup, chicken soup, seafood, and custard buns for dessert.
