This year's Kaohsiung Wonderland（高雄冬日遊樂園）takes place from February 7 to March 1 at the Kaohsiung harbor. Departing from the cute style of previous years, the festival is welcoming a heavyweight star: Legendary Japanese hero character Ultraman（超人力霸王）, who's now celebrating his 60th anniversary, is bringing passionate and heroic energy to the port city.

In addition, the theme has been extended to three modes of transportation, transforming the light rail, buses, and ferries into mobile exhibition spaces. Visitors can travel through the city following the “light,” and together with the heroes, help safeguard hope in Kaohsiung.
