Southern Taiwan's hottest summer destination is here! The 'Kaohsiung Family Amusement Park,' a stunning transformation of the former TRA Kaohsiung Workshop, will officially open on August 8—Father's Day. This 1.5-hectare landmark is not only the largest semi-indoor amusement park in Taiwan but also offers fully free admission.

The park preserves the industrial steel framework of its former railway repair plant identity while introducing a new solar photovoltaic roof, allowing both adults and children to comfortably enjoy outdoor energy release even under scorching sun or sudden thunderstorms.
