Lihpao Outlet Mall, which is the largest outlet mall in central Taiwan, officially opened its doors on January 15, 2017 and the opening ceremony was attended by Vice Chairman Chen Chih-hung and Chairman Wu Pao-tien of Lip Pao Group as well as Taichung City Mayor Lin Chia-lung. Lin Chia-lung said that the Ferris Wheel of Lihpao Land could be seen from the highway and each night the Ferris Wheel’s lights shine brightly into the sky. The eye-dazzling Ferris Wheel has become another new landmark of Taichung City. With Taichung City turning into an activity-focused tourism city, the Lihpao Land Ferris Wheel will display the Flora Exposition logo at night during the Taichung World Flora Exposition 2018. Lih Pao will also take part in the World Orchid Conference 2020. Lih Pao Group Chairman Wu Pao-tien welcomed everybody to visit Lih Pao’s Outlet Mall to enjoy the Hokkaido ambience. According to Vice Chairman Chen Chih-hung, since Lihpao Outlet Mall started trial operation on December 24, 2016, Lihpao Resort has received close to 800,000 guests and recorded the largest numbers of visitors and vehicles in the 10 years of the resort’s opening. During holidays, the resort sees a massive influx of visitors, so it is hard to find a vacancy in the parking lot offering 5,000 spots. (151G/Mar. 2017)
