What it is
Lihpao Land is a massive resort-style amusement destination in Houli District, Taichung, built around two distinct parks. Discovery World is the year-round thrill park, home to over 30 rides spread across themed zones including Enchanted Forest, Fairy Tale Village, Palace of Dreams, Yamay Island, and the world-exclusive LINE FRIENDS TOWN. Mala Bay is the resort's seasonal outdoor water park, operating in warmer months with wave pools that generate waves up to 3 meters high — among the largest artificial waves in Southeast Asia — plus a full lineup of water slides and attractions. Beyond the rides, the resort includes the Lihpao Outlet Mall, an international-standard go-kart raceway (Lihpao International Raceway), and the on-site Fullon Hotel for overnight stays. The complex is designed as a full-day or multi-day destination rather than a simple amusement park.
Highlights
- Gravity Max (Discovery World) — the world's first and only tilt roller coaster, where the lead car tilts forward to a full 90-degree vertical drop before releasing; widely cited as one of Asia's most intense coaster experiences.
- Sky Dream Ferris Wheel — at 120 m (394 ft), this is one of Taiwan's tallest Ferris wheels and the visual landmark of the entire resort; offers panoramic views across Houli and the surrounding mountains.
- Mala Bay Water Park — a seasonal water park (typically open spring through early autumn) featuring waves up to 3 m tall, 11+ water attractions including slides, a lazy river, and a wave pool that draws huge crowds on hot summer weekends.
- LINE FRIENDS TOWN — the world's only LINE FRIENDS themed zone inside a theme park, with seven sub-areas including Clock Tower, Finding EDWARD, Sally's Hide and Seek, and Wishing Fountain; popular for photo ops with Brown, Sally, and Minini characters.
- Mine Express & Wild Flume Adventure — the Mine Express is a family-friendly mine-cart roller coaster, while the Wild Flume Adventure is a reversing log flume ride with unexpected direction changes; both work well for families with older kids.
- Lihpao Outlet Mall — on-site shopping with international and Taiwanese brands, giving visitors a reason to extend the day even after the rides close.
Good to know
- Plan for a full day — covering Discovery World, Mala Bay (if open), the outlet, and the Ferris wheel realistically takes 8–10 hours. Arrive early, especially on summer weekends when Mala Bay lines can get very long by mid-morning.
Frequently asked
- What is the difference between Discovery World and Mala Bay at Lihpao Land?
- Discovery World is the year-round thrill and family ride park, home to Gravity Max and 30+ attractions across themed zones. Mala Bay is the separate outdoor water park that typically opens in late spring and closes in early autumn. They are both part of the same Lihpao Land resort complex, and combo tickets covering both are usually available.
- Is Gravity Max really as scary as people say?
- Gravity Max is genuinely intense — it is the world's only tilt coaster, meaning the track physically tilts forward until you are pointing straight down at 90 degrees before the drop begins. The anticipation at the tilt moment is what makes it famous. It is not extremely long or fast by global standards, but the tilt sequence is unlike anything else, and most first-time riders find it memorably nerve-wracking.
- How do I get from Taipei or Taichung to Lihpao Land?
- From Taipei, the most popular route is the Taiwan High Speed Rail to Taichung HSR station, then a taxi or shuttle bus to the resort in Houli (roughly 20–30 minutes). Direct express buses from Taipei Bus Station also run to Lihpao Land and take around 2 hours. From central Taichung, a taxi or rideshare to Houli takes about 30–40 minutes. The resort offers shuttle bus packages in combination with HSR tickets on platforms like KKday.
