Occupying an area of 50 thousand square meters with a total floor area of almost 400 thousand square meters, Dream Mall is the largest shopping complex in Taiwan and one of the top large-scale shopping centers in Asia. Located nearby the Kaohsiung Harbor, the Dream Mall was established by the Uni-President Group.
On March 30, 2007,Dream Mall was officially opened to the public and is now attracting crowds of innumerable visitors every day. The building of Dream Mall was professionally designed by the famous RTKL architecture, engineering, and planning firm and has become a popular Kaohsiung attraction.
With its glass exterior, the shape of the frontal building is said to shape like a large blue whale lying on the plain of golden sand. The rear building of Dream Mall is constructed with granite and is shaped to symbolize eternity.
The multifunctional Dream Mall complex is a combination of Cinemas, restaurants, children recreation center, and a vast amount of shops and boutiques that flourish with a variety of international brands. In addition, the first Marks & Spencer in Taiwan was established right inside of this high-standard mall.
One of the most famous features of the Dream Mall is the Hello Kitty Ferris Wheel outside the complex. It is the only Ferris wheel in Taiwan that allows both city views and ocean views. After dark, the neon lights from the Ferris wheel continuously changes colors and patterns like the fireworks.
