KUALA LUMPUR, July 3 (Bernama) -- Visitors are invited to the 2023 Yilan International Children's Folklore & Folkgame Festival which runs until Aug 13, at the Dong-Shan River Park in Yilan County, Taiwan.

With such exciting and challenging facilities at the Festival this year, Yilan County Magistrate Lin Tzu-Miao invites visitors worldwide to this grand event to challenge their limits.

Themed "Gaming in the Metaverse" this year, a great variety of waterplay facilities in the "Waterverse" are built to entertain kids and adults alike, and visitors can also experience the exciting high-altitude facilities at the iconic Starry Sky Tower.

According to a statement, the most dazzling landmark of this year's festival is undoubtedly the "Interstellar Headquarters" located in the middle of the pools.

Shaped like a gigantic rocket tower, this intimidating facility is 45 metres wide and 12 metres high, spanning across the three major pools.

As visitors enter the space shuttle, they can overlook the scenery of the entire Dong-Shan Park and experience the thrill of high-speed water skiing as an astronaut in a rocket.

In front of the rocket tower, there is also the "Water Arena" where water columns emerge with the flow of music. All these facilities help create an exciting yet cozy and safe space for all visitors to enjoy a splashy summer.

Meanwhile, at the Starry Sky Tower next to the pools, visitors can have fun with the 270-metre "Skydrop Adventure" to slide high above over the pools, try the thrilling 14-metre-high "Soaring Skyslide" to quickly descend to the ground, or challenge the four-storey-high "Skybound Swingtopia", among others.
