Tiger City (Chinese: 老虎城購物中心; pinyin: Lǎohǔ chéng gòuwù zhòng xīn) is a shopping center in Taichung's 7th Redevelopment Zone, Xitun District, Taichung, Taiwan that opened on January 16, 2002.[1][2]

History

  • On January 16, 2002, the Tiger City Shopping Center, which was built at a cost of NT$3.5 billion, was officially opened.
  • In 2006, Tiger City planned to spend NT$2.6 billion to build an amusement park next to the mall, of which NT$500 million was planned to be used to build a 105 m (344 ft)-high Ferris wheel, and the remaining NT$2.1 billion to build another 10,000 m2 (110,000 sq ft) shopping mall. It was expected to be completed in 2008.[3] But later, the expansion plan was cancelled, and was replaced by other builders to build a 159 m (522 ft) skyscraper building - Ding Sheng BHW Taiwan Central Plaza.[4]
  • On October 13, 2016, the Taichung International Animation Film Festival debuted at Tiger City.[5]
