Crayon Shin-chan joins summer fun at Pingtung Carnival opening

Pingtung County in Taiwan has launched its "Summer Carnival," a two-month-long event designed to be a major attraction for family tourism. The carnival, which opened on July 3rd at the Pingtung County Park, offers a variety of entertainment, including large amusement rides, a dedicated parent-child theater, and an interactive exhibition featuring the popular Japanese anime character "Crayon Shin-chan."

County Magistrate Chou Chun-mi inaugurated the event, emphasizing its role as a key brand for Pingtung's family tourism. This year's carnival retains popular attractions like the "Carnival Paradise" amusement rides while introducing new elements such as IP exhibitions and the family theater. The "Crayon Shin-chan: Go! Go! Action Kamen vs. Himawari" interactive exhibition is a major highlight, allowing visitors to revisit classic scenes from the anime and movies and participate in time-travel adventures with Shin-chan and his friends.

The carnival's amusement rides operate daily from 3 PM to 8 PM, with extended hours until 9 PM on Fridays and Saturdays. The "Crayon Shin-chan" exhibition will be accessible until October 11, open from 1 PM to 8 PM. The park observes a weekly closure every Wednesday for maintenance, during which both rides and exhibitions will be temporarily unavailable.

Following the opening, the O Theatre Company is set to present "Shima-shima Music World 2 BIZARROPIA" at the Sugar Crystal Plaza on the second night of the carnival, promising further entertainment for attendees.
