Uni-President Dream Mall Introduction
Dream Mall's architectural design is inspired by nature. The Blue Whale Pavilion at the front features a glass curtain wall that reflects the rhythm of water and sky, resembling a giant blue whale swimming into the Golden Coast. The main structure at the back has a granite exterior representing the earth and stones' eternity. The two buildings are connected by a sky bridge, resembling a large ship entering Kaohsiung Harbor’s Dapao Mountain. The rooftop Ferris wheel offers a 360-degree view of the ocean and cityscape, showcasing sights like Kaohsiung Harbor, Xiziwan, and Shoushan; it has a diameter of 50 meters and a total height of 102.5 meters, completing a rotation in about 15 minutes. The lights change colors in six thematic displays: Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, Christmas, and New Year, making it a brilliant sight in the night sky. The shopping center has 12 floors—two underground and ten above ground—designed around four main themes: water, flowers, nature, and the universe. Covering an area of 15,000 ping, it has a total floor area of 121,000 ping, including a 78,000 ping shopping mall and a 43,000 ping parking lot with 3,000 parking spaces. Named "Dream Mall," it caters to both shopping and children's play needs, featuring over 800 vendors, international brands, restaurants, and cinemas, as well as indoor go-kart racing, laser tag, and a parent-child play area, including a VR and dinosaur-themed exploration park, making it an ideal space for family fun and shopping! Since its opening on March 30, 2007, it has attracted over 20 million visitors within the first year alone, becoming a new tourist destination and iconic building in Taiwan. It was also selected as one of Asia's 10 Best Shopping Malls by Forbes Traveler, published by Forbes magazine, representing a high-standard international shopping center in Asia.
