Shanshun Recreation World is the largest indoor multi-use leisure facility in Miaoli County, encompassing a shopping center, ice skating rink, cinema, and other facilities, with a water park open to the public in summer. Located on Zhongzheng Road in Toufen City, near Provincial Highway 1, it is the main indoor recreational destination for residents of the Zhunan-Toufen metropolitan area on weekends, with relatively convenient access.
Highlights of Shanshun Recreation World
Toufen City (formerly Toufen Township) is the second most populous town in Miaoli County and has seen notable population growth in recent years with the expansion of the Hsinchu Science Park's Zhunan campus. Shanshun Recreation World is a rare large-scale indoor entertainment complex in Miaoli County, which otherwise lacks major leisure facilities. The ice skating rink offers year-round indoor skating with rental equipment and instructional services; the cinema screens mainstream theatrical releases and is one of the few significant movie venues in Miaoli County.
The summer water park, open during the warmer months, features water slides and splash pools attracting families with children during the summer vacation period. Because Miaoli County's coastal and mountain areas lack large water facilities, this water park sees heavy crowds during peak season. Visiting on weekdays or outside the summer peak is recommended to avoid long waits. Ticket prices and opening hours vary by facility; confirm official announcements before going.
