Houli Horse Ranch Introduction
The Houlait Horse Ranch covers a total area of 14.9628 hectares. In recent years, the city government has undertaken an overall renovation of the park and planned the construction of the Flowers Dance Pavilion. After hosting the "2018 Taichung World Floral Expo" and the "2020 Taiwan Lantern Festival," the Taichung City Government's Tourism Bureau commissioned a private company, Taiwan Leisure Sports Technology Co., Ltd., to operate the Houlait Horse Ranch and the Flowers Dance Pavilion for ten years. This partnership aims to leverage the professional management spirit of the private sector to provide a high-quality recreational space and diverse services while effectively managing existing facilities. The goal is to expand the multifunctional use of public facilities and create the largest equestrian sports education and cultural experience park in Taiwan. Equestrianism is often regarded as a noble sport, and Taiwan Leisure Sports Technology Co., Ltd. aims to develop a "people-friendly" equestrian experience. They plan to transform historical structures from the Japanese occupation era, such as the main office and the horse ranch director's residence, into themed restaurants, cafes, cultural and creative stores, and exhibition halls, preserving the elegant Japanese atmosphere. They also aim to promote the equestrian experience to the public to fulfill corporate social responsibility. With the expertise of the technology company, they hope to combine diverse recreational service facilities within the park to transform the Houlait Horse Ranch into a technology park and create a prosperous local tourist development in the Houlait area.
