Pei Yuxiang also described it in hisHaiba Wei Food Travel Video Diarytravel blog:"Looking down from this height is quite scary." The semi-transparent design of the slide adds an extra layer of thrill. Pei Yuxiang also advises those who are not very brave or suffer from acrophobia to think twice before trying it.

In addition, Shin Kong Mitsukoshi’s A11 building features a large interactive art installation. To match the festive Christmas atmosphere, there is a giant snowman and a bright red archway. Notably, at specific times, a snow machine is used here to create a scene of falling snow.
