The three-story “Indoor Shopping Street” is themed around European architectural styles, creating a romantic and elegant streetscape of a foreign town that is expected to become one of the popular photo spots for visitors. The shopping mall includes fashion trends, children’s clothing and toys, 3C lifestyle, beauty and groceries, featuring selected popular domestic and international brands, as well as introducing exclusive high-quality brands available only in Kaohsiung.

The world’s only internationally licensed go-kart track authorized by Japan’s Suzuka Circuit is one of the highlights at the Taroko Sahaya Mall. The mini Suzuka Go-Kart Track inherits from the over half-century classic professional track—“Japan’s Suzuka Racing Circuit,” which was built by Honda in 1962 and is the birthplace of Asian motorsports. The first Formula racing event in Japan was held here, along with countless other glorious and significant races. Those who want to experience the thrill of racing and go-karting can enjoy the excitement of speeding on the track here in the future.

Amusement facilities such as Taiwan’s largest Ferris wheel, a light rail sightseeing tram, and the much-anticipated carousel, water dance music fountain, as well as irregularly held performances, create a joyful atmosphere. The fitness factory within the park offers a space for active and healthy living, aiming to promote the concept of exercise, changing people’s traditional impression of gyms, and making working out a goal-oriented, planned, professional, and affordable enjoyment.
