Jiujiufeng Helium Balloon Park had a soft opening on Wednesday. It’s the only place in Taiwan, and the third in Asia, that offers sightseeing from a tethered helium balloon. Under stable conditions, the balloon can carry up to 30 passengers to a maximum altitude of 300m. Local residents of Nantou can sign up to ride the balloon over the soft opening period, and take in the stunning mountains view from above.

As the helium-filled balloon rises, breathtaking views of verdant mountains unfold for your enjoyment.

Jiujiufeng Helium Balloon Park, located in Nantou’s Caotun Township, is the first sightseeing park in Taiwan with a tethered balloon. The balloon has a volume of 6,000 cubic meters and can reach a height of 300m. Visitors can enjoy a panoramic view over Jiujiufeng from above.

Nantou County Commissioner
In order to afford all our friends a better view of Jiujiufeng, we’ve especially commissioned this helium balloon from France into our park. There will be a trial run for all our local friends.

The view changes on the way up. The balloon is secured with a cable and controlled via a winch house on the ground, making safety a feature of this gondola-like device in the air. The county government also plans to expand balloon operations into the evening hours.

Nantou County Commissioner
In the future, we will consider launching trial runs in the evening. I believe that nighttime offers more than the beautiful scenery of Jiujiufeng. The views of all around Nantou County must be really wonderful, too.

The world-class balloon offers visitors to Nantou a remarkable upgrade in experience. It’s also set to become a new landmark attraction of the county.
