Kaohsiung Vacation Travel Guide | Expedia

Kaohsiung – Taiwan’s busiest harbor. Located in southwestern Taiwan, this city boasts scenic seaside spots, magnificent mountain views, and captivating culture. Check out the top spots of Kaohsiung, here.

Begin your #Kaohsiung #vacation on the island of Cijin, and visit Tianhou Temple, where Matzu, the protector of fishermen and sailors, is honored.

Head further inland and hike the trails at Monkey Mountain; have a spot of tea with a view of the city as monkeys swing overhead from the treetops.

Other popular attractions include Love River, which offers scenic pathways that run through the city, and Lotus Lake, where the Dragon and Tiger Pagodas are said to give visitors good luck. At the lake, honor the Goddess of Mercy and God of War, and marvel at the massive statue of the Mysterious Warrior, Xuan Wu. Don’t miss the nearby Tianfu Palace and Taiwan’s largest Confucian Temple.

#Visit the Liuhe Night Market. As one of the largest markets in Asia, these open-air stalls serve up the freshest seafood around.

For now, we hope you enjoy watching this #travel #guide as much as we enjoyed making it.

My family and I lived there for 13 years. Witnessed many changes over that short period of time, where it was transitioning from an industrial port city into a modern liveable city

This is the most beautiful city in Taiwan for sure. MUCH nicer than the cities of the north, and the people are more open and speak English with an American accent. LOL

The Lotus Lake area is lovely to spend a day and taking photos in the area. There are some very cheap glass beads jewelry for sale around the temple area. And loads of souvenirs and traditional items to be found in the area. Definitely worth a visit. There are many little hop on hop off buses which leave from the station area to the Lotus Lake area and it cost very little money. Really enjoyed walking around the Love River area. Really interesting and very relaxing city. Directly behind the Kaohsiung Main Station is a clothing market area which is very cheap. One crosses over the rail tracks with a bridge (on the right side when standing in front of the station) and turn left after crossing over. Super shopping area there with colorful umbrella roof from one end of the street to the other end which makes for great photos.
