Kaohsiung City Government says “2026 Kaohsiung Wonderland” will run from Feb. 7 to March 1 at Love River Bay (愛河灣) and Kaohsiung Port Piers 16 to 18 (高雄港16-18號碼頭). The theme marks Ultraman’s 60th anniversary, anchored by two first-time, large floating inflatable installations and a program designed to draw families and tourists to the harbor.

The club became nationally famous during the early COVID-19 period in 2020, when a dancer reported the movements of an infected businessman who allegedly failed to disclose his travel and activity history, a case that helped authorities respond quickly and led to the nickname “national guardian dancer” (護國舞小姐).

Kaohsiung is turning its winter waterfront into a full-on pop culture night out. From Ultraman (超人力霸王) installations and light shows to FamilyMart collectible drink collabs, the city is building a “go, sip, shoot, post” route that fits how young travelers actually move.

“Yesen Animal School” (野森動物學校) began trial operations on January 17, 2026 in Neimen District (內門區), Kaohsiung. Positioned as an immersive, interactive animal and life-education park rather than a traditional zoo, it uses tiered pricing, full reservations, and cultural tie-ins to strengthen Eastern Kaohsiung’s tourism economy.

Hotels themselves propose the registered maximum price when submitting pricing for record. The local authority reviews the submission for formality and compliance, but does not set or “approve” an arbitrary cap based on economic fairness. Authorities may reject filings for procedural issues, but they do not set price levels based on “market fairness.”

Beyond the food, the event has created a significant spillover effect for nearby attractions, with hotels and small shops in the city center reporting nearly full capacity.
