Uni-President Dream Mall Introduction
The Dream Mall's architecture is inspired by nature, with the front Blue Whale Pavilion featuring a glass curtain wall that reflects the rhythm of water and sky, resembling a gigantic blue whale swimming into the Golden Coast. The main building at the back showcases an eternal façade of granite that symbolizes the earth and stone. The two buildings are connected by a bridge, resembling a large ship entering the port of Kaohsiung, Dabaoshan. The rooftop Ferris wheel offers a 360-degree view of the sea and cityscape, with panoramic sights of Kaohsiung Harbor, Sizihwan, and Shoushan. The Ferris wheel has a diameter of 50 meters, and the building stands at a total height of 102.5 meters, taking about 15 minutes for a full rotation. Its lighting changes vibrantly through six themes, including spring, summer, autumn, winter, Christmas, and New Year, making it stand out in the night sky. The shopping center consists of 12 floors, with 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 space of 121,000 ping, which includes a mall of 78,000 ping and a parking lot of 43,000 ping with 3,000 car parking spaces. Named "Dream Mall," it caters to both shopping and children's play needs, featuring over 800 brands, restaurants, and entertainment options, including indoor go-karting, laser tag, a family play area, and an exploration park that incorporates VR and dinosaur themes, making it an ideal space for families to enjoy shopping and fun! Since its opening on March 30, 2007, it has successfully attracted over 20 million visitors within a year, establishing itself as a new tourist destination and iconic building in Taiwan. It was also selected as one of the top 10 best malls in Asia by Forbes Traveler, a publication of Forbes magazine, making it a high-standard international shopping center in Asia.
