Toufen Shanshun Recreation World opened progressively from 2015. Its indoor amusement section spans six floors with ceiling heights of 6 to 10 meters, featuring 11 themed attractions and 2 themed zones built with Brogent's motion-simulation technology — Taiwan's only all-indoor 5D theme park. The complex is attached to Miaoli County's largest shopping mall (anchored by Vieshow Cinemas) and a hotel. According to Miaoli County household registration data, Toufen City is the most populous district in the county, with a population of approximately 107,539 as of the end of January 2025, ahead of Zhunan Township's 90,702.

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.
