Houli Horse Ranch Introduction
The Houli Horse Ranch covers a total area of 14.9628 hectares. In recent years, the city government has undertaken a comprehensive renovation of the park, planning to build the Flower Dance Pavilion. Following the successful hosting of the "2018 Taichung World Flora Exposition" and the "2020 Taiwan Lantern Festival," the Taichung City Government's Tourism Bureau commissioned a private entity, Taiwan Leisure Sports Technology Co., Ltd., to operate the Houli Horse Ranch and the Flower Dance Pavilion for 10 years. By leveraging the expertise and professionalism of the private sector, the goal is to provide high-quality recreational spaces and diverse services, effectively manage existing facilities, and expand the multifunctional usage of public amenities to create the largest equestrian sports education and cultural experience park in Taiwan. Equestrian sports are often regarded as a noble activity, and Taiwan Leisure Sports Technology Co., Ltd. aims to develop a "people-friendly" approach to equestrianism. The historical structures of the horse ranch, including the administrative building and the manager's residence from the Japanese colonial period, are planned to be transformed into themed restaurants, cafes, cultural and creative shops, and exhibition halls, preserving the elegant atmosphere of Japanese design while promoting equestrian experiences to the public in order to fulfill corporate social responsibility. It is hoped that leveraging the expertise of technology companies, combined with diverse recreational service facilities within the park, will turn the Houli Horse Ranch into a technological park, thereby creating a flourishing local tourism development in the Houli area.
