Kaohsiung

Kaohsiung is one of the biggest and busiest areas of Taiwan, and a hub of the island’s economy. Built around the port, the city is fast becoming a shopping and dining destination to rival Taipei. The skyscrapers in the city centre are reaching higher and higher and more and more people are discovering the historical and cultural gems in the area.

The main attraction in Kaohsiung is the Love River – also called the ‘Thames of Kaohsiung’. The river runs through the town for more than 12 km and there’s a number of great cafés, shopping areas and sightseeing spots along its banks. There’s a lot to do here, ranging from shopping and adventure outings to trying out the interesting cuisine.
