The Miramar Mall in Dazhi, Zhongshan District of Taipei, is the largest shopping mall in northern Taiwan, with a distinctive giant Ferris wheel on top of it. Here you can shop, eat at restaurants, enjoy a movie, and much more. It is definitely worth a stop on your next trip to Taipei.
Background: Miramar Mall opened in 2004. Before it was built, the area where it stands was once the Keelung River, which was rerouted, and the land here was reclaimed in the early 2000s. At the time, it was the largest building project on top of the new reclaimed land near the Keelung River. It is the largest shopping mall in northern Taiwan and has the fourth largest Ferris Wheel in Taiwan at 80 meters tall, 120 meters off the ground level. The mall is nine stories high and includes an IMAX theater. Hours: 11 AM to 10 PM every day. Ferris Wheel: 1 PM to 10 PM every day.

Author 作家I am an American expat who has extensive experience living, working, and traveling in Taiwan. In my day, I had to learn many things about Taiwan the hard way. But I have come to learn that Taiwan is one of the best places in the world for Foreigners to live. This blog does not represent the opinions of every foreigner in Taiwan. I am just trying to help others learn more about this beautiful country. Categories
