Has severe RBF but is fairly jolly and carefree on the inside. Degree of life satisfaction is heavily influenced by food.

Disney fans have Disneyland, Sanrio fans have Sanrio Puroland, and now beauty lovers have their own theme park to add to their travel bucket list: Healtdeva Manor 赫蒂法莊園 in Yilan, Taiwan.

With natural beauty-themed installations and workshops, this new eco attraction even has its own castle like many theme parks do - a dreamy metal castle surrounded by a pond!

Keep reading to find out more! 

Healtdeva or Hetifa Manor is located in Yilan, a county in Taiwan about an hour away from Taipei by train and 45 minutes by car.

This new attraction is marketing genius! It's actually a beauty, health and wellness theme park created by and centred around beauty & lifestyle brand HEALTDEVA 赫蒂法. The 6,000 square metre eco-park combines the brand's products with health, medical cosmetology and ecological garden science in one Instagrammable tourist attraction.

The architecture takes inspiration from European-style aesthetics and mixes it with Yilan's bamboo wind blue rain characteristic as the county has forests, swamps, river ponds and frequent rain. At the centre of the park is a stunning stainless steel "castle in the sky" held up by silver and gold tree sculptures with a winding staircase.

Insta-worthy spots aside, Healtdeva Manor has different zones with beauty and wellness activities, workshops, interactive installations and educational displays. Workshops include making your own personalised fragrance, key ring and even mosquito repellent from dried flowers and plant extracts. However, it seems like everything is only in traditional Chinese!

There's also a cafe, garden and free skin testing which takes less than three minutes to analyse skin problems.

The park also sells merchandise including their own HEALTDEVA related products and souvenirs. They have a convenient shopping system where you'll just have to scan the barcode of the products you like while you're exploring the park and collect the items at the pick-up area when you leave.

Besides Healtdeva Manor, Yilan is home to other family-friendly attractions like hot springs, mountain resorts, beautiful nature reserves and food & shopping markets like Luodong Night Market.

The park started its soft opening in April and is slated to officially open in late May 2021.
