Feng Ju Palace
Feng Ju Palace is a madhouse in China Town that opened in 2002. You sit in a palace hall that seems to tilt and turn upside down.
The concept
The story is about a battle between good and evil in a Chinese palace, with love at stake. A pre-show introduces you to the story, including a few fight scenes. Then you take your seat on a swing bench in the palace hall and the show begins.
The Experience
While your bench gently sways, the hall rotates around you like a drum. Your brain gets confused and it feels as if you're hanging completely upside down. Hold on tight during the ride. It's loud and dark inside at times, which makes the illusion even stronger.

Optical illusion
Your bench only sways a little; it's mainly the hall that rotates. Even so, it feels as if you're going head over heels.
Sensitive to spinning?
If you get nauseous or dizzy easily, you might want to sit this one out. The park also warns of rapid light effects, which is important to know for people with epilepsy.
Indoor
Feng Ju Palace is indoors, so it's also a good choice on a rainy day.
Visitor information
Children under 1.20 metres must be accompanied; from 1.20 metres you can ride alone. The park warns that young children may get scared: the pre-show, the darkness and the feeling of going head over heels can be intense. Pregnant women may not ride. Feng Ju Palace is open all year round.
Confusingly fun
Feng Ju Palace shows how easily your brain can be fooled. A short, fun stop in China Town. Geister Rikscha is in the same themed area, as is the souvenir shop China Pagode.
