With up to 9 days of Spring Festival holiday, have you decided where to go? Amusement parks, packed with numerous rides and various performances, are undoubtedly a popular choice for many travelers. This year, many theme parks across Taiwan have introduced special offers tailored for family trips. From the first to the seventh day of the Lunar New Year (January 23 to 29), Lilliput Land offers free admission for children under 6, Leofoo Village also provides free entry with its BOYU ticket, and Hualien’s Far Eastern Ocean Park, celebrating its 10th anniversary, is even holding a VIP card raffle for a free 10-year family pass for four people from now until March 31. Don’t miss the fantastic shows at these parks either—Yue Mei Amusement World has brought in Sichuan’s thousand-year-old “Iron Water Fire Dragon Dance,” Janfusun Fancyworld features the thrilling “Crazy Circus” stunt show, and Kaohsiung’s E-DA Theme Park has launched five new attractions, including 3D anamorphic paintings, a 360-degree virtual underwater world, and 3D projection performances with live actors, offering visitors a unique visual spectacle.
