Love River Ferris Wheel to be Built Soon|愛情摩天輪8/30說明會 韓:數十廠商參加

Kaohsiung City Mayor Han Kuo-yu is living up to his campaign promise of building a Ferris wheel on the Love River. Han says he hopes the Ferris wheel will give the stagnant tourism industry a boost. He also revealed that a Japanese hotel is investing NT$6 billion on a new hotel in Kaohsiung.


Following a city administration meeting, Kaohsiung City Mayor Han Kuo-yu directed attention to the Love River Ferris wheel project.

We will provide details on our Love River Ferris Wheel during an information session on Aug. 30.

Han proposed the Ferris wheel during his mayoral campaign and is making good on the campaign promise now. He said several dozen foreign and domestic companies will be taking part in the project and he hopes the attraction will give the stagnant industry a huge boost. Han also announced Japan's Okura Prestige will be building a new NT$6 billion hotel in Kaohsiung in 2020. The city will also benefit from another NT$26.5 billion trade park project.

We also have on hand a NT$26.5 billion multi-function economic trade park project. We will hold a tenant recruitment session in Taipei on Sept. 2 and another at the Kaohsiung City Government Sihwei Administration Center on Sept. 4.

During the first half of the year, tourist arrivals in Kaohsiung grew by 21 percent with over four million tourists visiting our city. We hope to see tourism continuing to grow in the second half of the year.
