Where to go during winter break? Theme parks across Taiwan have super fun activities!

By Chi Binghui, compiled and reported

February passes by especially quickly—not only are there fewer days, but it’s also the winter vacation and Lunar New Year, a month packed with holidays. It’s a rare chance for the whole family to reunite warmly and relax after a year of exhaustion during the spring break. Although in general impression, winter may seem like an unsuitable season for theme park fun, in fact, many operators across Taiwan launch various special activities and offerings during this time. Not only are prices lower and better value than usual, but this year also features flower festivals, themed lantern displays, fireworks shows, and special Lunar New Year events. The rich variety of content guarantees an even more exciting experience than summer. Spotasia has specially compiled a list of 12 theme parks and attractions across Taiwan, bringing you the latest discounts and exciting activities!
