Young and old find it refreshing to seek cool treats in the scorching summer heat. Kaohsiung has three distinctive ice shops where visitors can savor delicious homemade icy treats to cool down. |
Yuan Zhi Yuan Wei Ice & Drink Shop （圓知圓味手作甜品＆冰品）
Yuan Zhi Yuan Wei Ice & Drink Shop has made a name for itself with its unique "Mochi Hot & Cold Shaved Ice," which is served with shaved ice surrounded by a medley of toppings and complemented by hot sesame and peanut-flavored Mochi, dusted with roasted wheat flour and crushed OREO cookies, and then drizzled with condensed milk. It offers a delightful combination of contrasting temperatures and multi-layered flavors with crispy and chewy textures.
The shop also makes its own taro balls, sweet potato balls, and starch jellies. They also specialize in various homemade bean toppings to ensure customers enjoy their treats, knowing everything is handmade.
One of their most popular summer delights is the mango ice, where luscious mango slices are arranged around a center of matcha-shaved ice. This irresistible, mouthwatering treat is popular with the locals.

Crown Ice（皇冠冰城）
Crown Ice is a popular ice shop known for its low-fat fresh fruit sorbet ice cream. It has even attracted travelers from Hong Kong, many of whom, upon arriving in Taiwan, immediately venture to the shop to indulge in these summer treats.
Crown Ice offers various distinctive flavors, including red guava, dragon fruit, jaboticaba, jackfruit, perilla plum watermelon, butterfly pea, and more. The vibrant colors of the ice cream come from the fruits' natural hues and provide a light but rich and refreshing texture.
