The 44 best neighborhoods to see in Kaohsiung

The Buddha is standing in the center of the building witb eight Chinese-styled pagodas on either side of the main avenue leading up to the Bodhi Square. The place is not surrounded by trees and the weather is warm when we visit so please bring sunglasses 👓, umbrella and cap. Along the side of the pagoda is sheltered and every pagoda holds a different theme. The staff were friendly and helpful. They will invite you to the pagoda and provide information of whats in the pagoda. There is a tooth relic true buddha so please check the timing when visiting. The old temple section is closed for renovation so we never went up. The whole area is wheelchair friendly.

Guang Shan is one of the most influential modern Buddhist organizations in Taiwan and globally. summary, Fo Guang Shan has grown from a local Taiwanese monastery into a global Buddhist movement with profound influence. Through modern management and diverse methods of teaching, it has successfully integrated Buddhism into contemporary society, making significant contributions to personal well-being, education, culture, and social welfare. It is a premier example of the successful application of Humanistic Buddhism.

Absolutely worth a visit when you’re in the Kaohsiung area. No need to buy tickets for visiting the museum and the monastery. Very insightful museums about the history of Buddhism and Fo Guang Shan. Extremely friendly and helpful staff as well. The bus from Kaohsiung takes you right in front of the entrance.

A huge, sprawling complex with a lot to see. We spent about 4 hours walking around and the visit still felt rushed. Part A is the main newer part. Part B was closed for renovation. Part C is more academic, residential & administrative building. The Garden of Buddha was the best part in C.

Grand, impressive, peaceful, & free. Love learning all the Buddhist proverbs, history, & teachings here. 100% worth the visit: you can spend all day here!

Worth the visit despite super hot and humid weather. People here are very kind and souvenirs are reasonably priced. Vegetarian food options are available onsite. Will visit again.

Absolute worth the trip to visit this amazing place of worship. Caught the E 02Hafo express from Zuoying station platform 3. A quick 30 min drive on the highway. Make sure to queue as bus can only take seated travellers. No standing permitted. Have lunch, have tea, sit in the gardens, shop in the stores, embrace the beautiful energy of this place. Spending an hour or a day, or even return. Absolutely worth it.

hmm, it's good, but i think it could be better. i went here on the afternoon, there are a lot of people who are fishing in the lake. i saw dead fish, someone singing loudly with microphone, dogs that are pooping, cute turtles, swans and ducks. people jogging, traveling, praying. for some reason, after all, it depicts ... life.

Lotus pond is probably one of the most iconic attractions of kaoshiung! Therefore, I decided to pay a visit during my trip in kaoshiung. The lotus pond is huge and is right beside other places worth visiting such as the pagodas and temples along the pond.

A massive lake (what can I say😆), surrounded with temples you can visit. Too lazy to walk? Youbike pools are available there.

This place is just breathtaking with its many beautiful temples, statues and pagodas, and it is all free. You can feed the fish and sea turtles, get luck by venturing through the dragon mouth and out through the tiger mouth. You can get amazing pictures. What's not to love?

Main attraction in Kaohsiung. Big pond with many colourful temples and pagodas. Some stores and shops along the pond but not big variety. The main pagoda is currently in construction/renovation. No lotus during aug when we visited. Look quite dull. We tried milk tea nearby but was not good.

Very beautiful sunset spot, cycling and walking trails. Have got lovely coffee shop too in that location. Truly worth visiting 😍

Love the walk around the pond. Which is about 3km. Plenty of space for training ( bicycle or running) a couple of Taiwanese and Western style restaurants. Confucius temple close at 5pm.

Love River is an iconic beautiful river of Kaoshiung. I visited during one of the evening and took a relaxing stroll along the river after the boat cruise. I love the fact that its not crowded, thou I feel there is nothing much of interest around the area in the evening.

Really love the river. Early in morning and late at night: always a nice walk!

It is a river (historically a canal) that flows through the heart of Kaohsiung City, in southern Taiwan. It is considered the "mother river" of the city. The Love River is now a beautiful, clean waterfront and the top tourist attraction in Kaohsiung. · Its banks feature promenades, parks, cafes, and restaurants, perfect for walking, cycling, and relaxing.

Recommend to take small boat instead so that the boat can get through low-ceiling bridge. There is tour guide to tell you about the sightseeing but in Chinese.

I didn’t find love but I might have a bacterial infection. I guess a win is a win. If you’re tired of Tinder, this river might be worth a shot. I had the same amount of success (none). Good luck, King!

Stopped here for a couple of photos. The views were beautiful.

Went here to see the Yellow Duck which was back after 10 years - this is in time for Kaohsiung Wonderland 2024. Lots of people with a small night market.

Within the Formosa station, they have the famous Dome of Lights. The color, art and structure of it looks so amazing. A lot of locals, tourists and school kids on field trip come to the station to see this artwork. Around this place, there are several restaurants like food court style. I found a wonderful gift shop nearby as well. We were at this site several times, before going to the Kaohsiung post office and near by street market.

Stopped by the Dome of Light at Formosa Boulevard MRT Station in Kaohsiung — absolutely stunning! The colors and design are mesmerizing, and it's even more special during the scheduled light show. If you're in Kaohsiung, definitely worth a quick stop to admire this beautiful art installation. Super pretty and easy to access right at the MRT station!

This station is full of wonders. The Dome of Light is the main attraction. Tourists just come here to take pictures. It has lightening show 10:00, 11:00, 13:00, 15:00, 17:00, 18:00, 19:00, 20:00, 21:00. There are food, snacks, drinks and shopping. You will be able to get souvenirs in those small shops. The station is very clean. Easy to navigate. The PA is in Mandarin, English, Japanese (not sure about Korean).

The Dome of Light at Formosa Boulevard is one of Kaohsiung’s most popular landmarks and a must-see for anyone visiting the city. Located right inside the MRT station, it’s both a functional transit hub and a stunning piece of art. Many call it the world’s largest glass art installation, designed by Italian artist Narcissus Quagliata. The dome is made up of thousands of glass panels that represent the four elements—water, earth, light, and fire—symbolizing the cycle of human life. What makes it special is how it transforms an ordinary subway station into a space full of color and light. As soon as you step off the train, you’re greeted with a glowing ceiling that changes in tone and mood depending on the time of day. The colors are vivid and mesmerizing, making it one of the most photographed spots in Kaohsiung. If you’re coming from the airport, you can conveniently drop off at this station to see the Dome of Light—it’s on the transfer line, so it’s easy to find. Since Formosa Boulevard is one of the city’s busiest stations, there are usually a lot of commuters passing by. But if you’re patient and wait for the right timing, you can get a photo with almost no one in the frame. Whether you stay for a few minutes or longer, it’s worth seeing this place in person. The craftsmanship, the meaning behind the design, and the peaceful atmosphere beneath the lights make it one of Kaohsiung’s most memorable attractions.

Let's be clear, it's just a train station and a passing view. Don't come here thinking it's a museum or anything. That given, it's pretty cool display! If you're in the area, pop in for like 5 mins to enjoy and take pics.

Underwhelming. Pictures make it look more vibrant than real life. The video show is pathetic. It may have been innovative 25 years ago, but they should terminate it and just leave the ceiling illuminated (as it is most of the time).

A beautiful and elegant station with sporadic light shows great for the kids to enjoy. Came and missed the main light show at 11am and 3pm but the atmosphere made up for it. Has teamlab planet vibes

The Dragon and Tiger Tower at Lotus Lake is one of attraction landmark in Kaohsiung, known for its vibrant design and cultural significance. While the entrance of Tiger and dragon was closed during my visit, the scenic surroundings make it a great spot for a walk or bike ride for families. Nearby, the Beiji Xuantian Shangdi Temple impresses with its intricate architecture and religious importance, while the Spring and Autumn Pavilions feature a stunning tower and a massive dragon sculpture but entrance closed during my visit. Admission is free! If you’re exploring Kaohsiung, it’s definitely a place to check out—just be sure to confirm its accessibility before your visit!

It’s a religious monument but also a major tourist attraction. The reflection on the water makes it look surreal. It would be more interesting if you know the meaning of each architectural feature.

The Tiger and Dragon Pagodas are an absolutely stunning and iconic spot in Kaohsiung! The colorful temples, detailed dragon and tiger statues, and peaceful Lotus Pond surroundings make it a must-visit place. Walking through the dragon’s mouth and exiting through the tiger symbolizes turning bad luck into good fortune — such a unique experience.

The Dragon and Tiger Pagodas (龍虎塔, Lóng Hǔ Tǎ) in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, are a famous and colorful tourist attraction. Unlike the ancient, stone-carved Dragon Tiger Tower in Jinan, the Kaohsiung Dragon and Tiger Pagodas are a modern, colorful, and interactive cultural experience. They are a highlight of Kaohsiung's tourism scene, famous for their unique design, the folk belief associated with entering them, and their picturesque setting on Lotus Pond. If you go there when you travel the area—it's a famous Instagram spot!"

One of Kaohsiung’s most iconic sights, featured in almost every photo of the city. Built in the 1970s, it lacks the historic feel of much older temples or pagodas, but it still has its own character — a very 70s vibe — which I actually like. The open mouths of the dragon and tiger give it a slightly playful, almost theme-park feel, yet the location at Lotus Pond is beautiful. The area is worth exploring further, with many other temples, a walkway and bridge leading up to a small hill, and a nice viewpoint. Like most places, it’s at its most beautiful during blue hour, when the lights come on and the mix of warm and cool colors creates a stunning contrast.

Beautiful spot, best visited in the late afternoon for the view. I went with friends and enjoyed walking around the nearby attractions. There are also local food stalls around the pond — great for a quick snack.

The place is quite new and free to visit. It has great views and a nice location by the pond where people go waterskating, walking, and cycling. There are also a few more similar buildings and impressive temples nearby, making it a lovely area to explore.

We enjoyed dining here. It was a few minutes away from our hotel so we went here twice. Stayed at the tables near the grilled oysters and fried mushrooms but bought food from several stores. This review is mainly an appreciation post for the store that sells bags, we found them a few minutes before midnight so most stores were closed already. If you find yourself out of luggage space from having brought too many souvenirs/food, we found a store that sells big foldable bag for luggage check-in. Will post the photos for reference.

Liuhe Night Market (六合夜市) – Kaohsiung, Taiwan One of the best night markets to explore in Kaohsiung! The atmosphere is lively and full of local charm — colorful signs, friendly vendors, and an endless variety of street food to try. I tested several stalls and everything was freshly made and delicious. The grilled skewers and sausages were flavorful, while the fried snacks were crispy and satisfying. Prices are reasonable, and you can easily walk and eat your way through the market. It’s also very convenient to reach (right next to Formosa Boulevard MRT station), and the street is clean and organized compared to many other night markets. Perfect for both locals and travelers who want to taste authentic Taiwanese street food in a fun and safe environment. Highly recommended for a casual dinner or evening stroll — come hungry! 📍 Tip: Visit after 6 PM when most stalls are open, and bring some cash (many stalls don’t take cards).

Liuhe Night Market is just a five-minute walk from my hotel, so it was the first place I visited after checking in. I left my bags in the room and immediately headed out to grab something to eat. As soon as I arrived, the lively atmosphere greeted me—bright lights, food stalls lined up on both sides, and the smell of grilled seafood everywhere. The market was crowded with tourists and locals, all exploring the different food options. Most stalls sell seafood dishes, fried chicken, and milk tea, but there are also snacks, desserts, and souvenirs if you take time to look around. It’s a great place to experience local flavors and the energy of Kaohsiung at night. The best part is how close it is to my hotel, making it easy to visit again if I crave a late-night snack.

Its the only night market we went to while in Kaoshiung due to bad weather. We enjoyed the food here though only few stalls were open when we stroll as its still early but all the food we bought were superb!steamed white corn, sausage, fried squid is the best. A lot of fresh juice to chose from that really complements the food . Enjoyed eating everything while walking.

This is the night market at Kao Xiong. Near one MRT station. Quite hot even at night time. We came here on 25 September 2025, which is still a summer in Taiwan. Many different types of local food. They open from 5pm to 2am. The foods are almost the same for any other night market. They have another night market nearby too. Walking distance.

The Liuhe Night Market is one of the most famous and tourist-friendly night markets in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Liuhe Night Market is a bustling, straight pedestrian street packed with food stalls, game booths, and seating areas. It's a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to Kaohsiung, offering a concentrated taste of Taiwanese street food culture in a clean and organized environment. Must-try different kind of foods, you won't disappoint.

We went on a Monday night around 7pm. It’s just 1 long street so it’s easy to walk its entire length. You will find your typical Taiwan night market selling fruit drinks, cut up fruit, boneless chicken feet, Taiwanese sausages, pepper meat buns, pork jerky, Japanese street food, dumplings, green onion pancakes, and oyster omelettes to name a few. Besides a few grilled squid stands and fruit juice stands, I like that there wasn’t that many repeated food items offered. I’ve tried a few items but unfortunately nothing stood out for me to come back.

This is one of the famous night markets in Kaohsiung. To get there you got to get to Kaohsiung Arena Metro Station. It's less than 5 mins walk from the metro station. It was super crowded when I visited. Lot of food stalls. Reasonably priced. The Angel Fried Chicken is a must try for sure, do not add the spicy powder if you want just enjoy the chicken. Just ask the vendor to add some minimum salt and pepper. Mine was overloaded with Spicy Powder. Nevertheless it's one of the best juicy fried chicken I have had. Other than that I tried the papaya milk, spicy fish balls, the Chinese omelette crepe, and another fried thing with an egg, the Japanese shrimp balls. Etc. Lot of choices. If you are planning to visit in the evening or night I suggest you to skip lunch so that you can try the maximum stuff you can stuff. Overall a great place and a must visit in Kaohsiung.

About 5 minutes on foot from MRT station was probably the best night market in Kaohsiung. There were so many food options for us to try at reasonable prices. We specifically loved the fried stinky tofu with thousand-year egg. The grilled octopus, taro smoothie were also tasty. A great place to explore nightlife in Kaohsiung and Taiwanese dishes.

I honestly prefer this night market compared to the one near my hotel. It’s more spacious, cleaner, and has a wider variety of stalls — not just food but also clothes, souvenirs, and local crafts. The best part is it doesn’t have that strong food smell like the other one, so walking around feels much more pleasant.

So many food stalls to choose from! Enjoyed our time in this market. Had to go back to try other food and delicacies. Loved it! The night market you should include in your itinerary esp if you’re a foodie.

It’s OK, not great. I’m glad I came, but I don’t think I’ll be back. I had some chicken and rice, soup dumplings, which were not very soupy and some sweet pastry thing I don’t know the name of. We were here on the Thursday night and not all of the vendors were open. I feel like most of the food was premade, although it was fresh but just kept warm until someone asked for it and then they served it to you.

The largest night market in Kaohsiung, Ruifeng is a must visit, bar none. It is located on a parking lot, in a similar style as those located in Tainan. Though half the size of the night markets of Tainan, Ruifeng is simply, the largest one in Kaohsiung. There is a wide variety of foods, specifically the seafood selection is awesome, with prices much lower than Taipei. We found some of the flavors to be fresh and the shellfish unbeatable. The density is rather high, as this is the only, parking lot oriented, night market in the city. There is also a wide variety of carnival games, darts, ring toss, airsoft, mahjong and arcade, in addition to some kiddy rides. As I travel throughout Taiwan, I have found at least three unique items at Ruifeng, which I have never encountered before.

If night markets are the beating heart of Taiwan, then Ruifeng Night Market in Kaohsiung is its adrenaline rush. A dazzling chaos of sizzling grills, flashing signs, and hungry chatter — this night market is a flavor-packed playground for the soul. The moment I stepped into the crowd, the scent of fried chicken and grilled sugar hit me like a warm, greasy hug — and I knew I was home. First stop: the legendary fried chicken cutlet. Still crackling from the fryer, it came nestled in a grease-kissed paper pouch, golden and absurdly crispy. One bite and I was hooked. The crust had that perfect shatter, and inside, the chicken was juicy, steaming, and full of peppery, umami goodness. It’s the kind of snack that makes your hands greasy and your soul happy. But it wasn’t just about the savory hits. The real surprise came in dessert form — a cup of rolled ice cream, bright and cheerful, topped with whipped cream, rainbow sprinkles, and a perfectly toasted marshmallow. It was creamy, playful, and slightly nostalgic — a dessert that didn’t take itself too seriously but still delivered on flavor. Every spoonful was a contrast of textures: cool rolls, fluffy cream, chewy ‘mallow. Street food turned into edible joy. Ruifeng isn’t just about what you eat — it’s how it makes you feel. It’s the laughter of locals squeezing past each other, the anticipation as food sizzles before your eyes, and that late-night energy where anything feels possible.

A beautiful station to visit just for the exhibit. Tip: there’s an hourly LED light show on the hour daily. The day we visited I wish there was someone to play the piano nearby.

I was told to make a stop at Formosa Boulevard Station—and I’m so glad I did! The "Dome of Light" inside the station is absolutely breathtaking. It’s the world’s largest glass art installation and the colors are incredible in person—photos don’t do it justice. Even though it’s just a train station, it feels more like an art gallery. It's a great (and free!) place to stop, snap some photos, and take in a bit of local culture. If you're in Kaohsiung, make sure this is on your list—it’s super easy to visit since it’s right on the main MRT line.

This has to be one of the most beautiful subway stations I've ever been to in my life! The lights are mesmerizing and there's a light show every evening. We got there at 7.15pm just in time for all the lights to be turned off and the boulevard was transformed into an interactive light show. Also, lots of people just come here to snap a photo and leave but do take some time to walk under the dome ceiling to take in the artwork inspired by horoscopes.

Formosa Blvd Station is home to Dome of Light, an attraction that draws tourist. This station has coffee shops and restaurants where you can dine and looking for a comfortable place to take a break in between shopping. They have vendo machines for electronic gadget accessories, photo boooths, and a grand piano,

There are 16 pillars and 2 core pillars supporting the giant piece of art work in the station. It's design is inspired by Italian and master craft build in Germany, Mexico, Italy. There are 4 types of glass, blown glass by murano, fused glass by Mexico, antique glass by Germany, fusible glass supplied by Oregon USA. It signify light, wind, fire and light. This is a master piece which takes many craftsman effort to put together. Every panel is colorful with design base on the 4 theme. Should visit if you have the time.

This place is overrated. Actually this should be your stop when taking MRT as a working station. Nothing to see much. Just decoration. They have some light effects in some fixed time but not worth waiting for that. Should spend time for something else in Kaohsiung. Why do the travel companies count this one to their plan?

An incredible art installation in the heart of Kaohsiung at the centre of the metro/subway. There are also a few cafes and shops making it a must for anyone travelling to Kaohsiung for the first time. Monthly weekend market her makes for a great outing for the whole family - especially in summer when want I g to escape the heat.

There are hardly any places in the city more beautiful to enjoy tea and small delicacies served on a tiered stand in the evening sun. The sunset is spectacular, and the building itself is steeped in history. Guests are welcomed with a small sip of iced tea, a charming gesture. The gift shop recalls the Cotswolds in England, though with motifs ranging from The Little Prince to Chinese-inspired designs. The terrace facing west features five arcades, each with a table for three guests. When our group of five arrived, we were warmly received. However, we were told that two tables could not be moved together for reasons of monument preservation—even though the furniture was neither historic nor original. The more plausible explanation was economic: if two tables are taken by a group of five, another party cannot be seated. This reasoning, though understandable, still left a sense of arbitrariness. Things took a slightly absurd turn with the drinks: one of our group asked for the very iced tea that had been served at the entrance. We were told that this particular iced tea was only for outside sale and not available at the table—but we could order a different iced tea. When milk was requested for Darjeeling, the answer was that milk could only be ordered with beverages that already included it, but not separately for tea. At payment, the issue continued. The vouchers tied to our admission tickets could not be used in full—only three of them were valid, due to house policy. The running gag of the evening became our remark that everything “not possible” was simply prohibited by monument protection. The contrast between the friendliness of the staff and the rigid bureaucratic mindset denying the most ordinary requests was, after a while, a source of laughter, though also an annoyance.

Visit here twice but this time is different as most of the areas are closed or converted to dining area. Exhibition area is reduced to about 100 sq m. Even so, admission charge is required. Recommended if nowhere else to go.

This place absolutely deserves to be part of any visit plan to Kaohsiung. It was not crowded at all even on a holiday Sunday. The view from the hilltop of the old embassy complex is fantastic. One can see 270 degrees spanning from the main business downtown on the east, Cijin and its lighthouse to the south, and the National Sun Yet Sen University and Shoushan to the west. The second floor cafe serves very reasonable English teas, afternoon tea set and other food. Make sure to get a table in the balcony.

Set on top of a hill that has a beautiful view across the sea and surrounding coastline. The consulate itself isn't too big but is interesting for anyone looking into Taiwan's history. There's a tea shop at the back of the building that you get a discount for when paying to enter the consulate.

Visited this place mainly to check out the view from the top, which is nice. Didn't feel that there was much to see in terms of the exhibits. So it felt that the entrance fee was mainly for the view.

There is so much history of the British in Kaohsiung. The site is well maintained, and the entrance ticket is very affordable. The views for the harbor, the NSYSU, and the city are astonishing. Around 2 pounds. It's definitely worth visiting. There are souvenirs stores and tea shops and restaurants for refreshment.

Built on a hill, so trekking is necessary. Get your umbrella ready especially if you're going here on a sunny day. There's an entrance fee (NTD150, if I remember it correctly), which I thought was high. The building itself, however, was such a sight. There's also a section where you can take in the beautiful city view. There's a cafe also, ideal for refreshments.

Certainly! Here's a glowing review for **Kaohsiung Dream Mall**, Taiwan's largest shopping mall: --- **⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Experience at Dream Mall!** Kaohsiung Dream Mall is a must-visit destination for shopping, dining, and entertainments. Whether you're a local or a tourist, Dream Mall offers an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!

Good for shopping. You will find high street stores, electronics, coffee shops, restaurants, playground for kids and even cinema there. Underground parking free bathrooms and elevators make it easy to go around. Can easily spend a whole day there. It gets crowded on weekends and rainy days.

Huge mall with a variety of shopping options. It was well maintained with friendly staff's. Though some staff's were not speaking English, you can use a translators or even they willing to help and assist you're needs.

First time visit from California to this mall and we're thoroughly impressed. Out of the newer malls, we still returned twice for it's large selection and ease of walking. We got 7k steps touring through the entire mall. So much to see and do for all ages.

Beside lots of eateries, H&M, Daiso amd somw ah hoc store's which i bought my shorts cheaply there is nothing else. Its a high end Mall selling branded goods. The supermarket is so small. I will give it a miss lol

This mall is huge with multiple floors and an outdoor section connected to it with even more shops. The top floor has an arcade and game area, and there’s also a movie theater with a classy Art Deco design. The rooftop features a dinosaur-themed amusement park with a giant Ferris wheel, and there’s a connected parking structure. You can easily spend the whole day here, but the signage could be better — it’s easy to get lost and hard to find the right exit.

This is my favorite mall in Kaohsiung. Other than luxurious and high end brands/products, they have so much more local and inexpensive stores as well. It has 8 floors, first 4 are for men and women apparel and accessories goods. Fifth floor is for babies and kids. There’s also arcade game and funzone on the same floor. Top three floors have cinema hall and restaurants. Food court is at level B1. Within the mall they have different events and promotions going on. We got the promo for NT $300 back for every NT $3000 spent ($10 USD cashback on every $100 spent). There were local vendor shops in common areas of the mall. The commute is easy to the mall. There’s light rail and MTR train stations directly connected to it. It easily takes 2-3 hours to go through the whole mall floor by floor just to look around and window shop.

The river bank is clean and well kept. Some eatery and small cafes along the way. There is a Boat Cruise near the center of the river; BUT not many visitors visited this

I haven't been in the river but i have been beside it for days walking and riding the bike along side by the river for days to get around to places. Very lovely place, it's kept clean and if you are interested. they have boat for you to ride but better check the hours for it's operation since i rarely see anyone riding them. but since i have seen the whole river from both sides while i was riding the bike, i wasn't interested on taking a boat ~

Like many great cities around the world, the city Kaohsiung has transformed this canal into a beautiful popular local attraction for dating couples or tourists to go. There are plenty of restaurants and tea bars dotted on each shore. River cruises are offered. A nice place to take a walk in both day or night time.

I took the ferry around the river for 15 minutes. The experience is okay and the ticket is fine for the experience. I recommend if you want to experience the river in the evening.

The love river is a vibrant and fun place to visit during the Dragon boat races. Many stalls are set up selling handcrafted items, food and other things. Of course, the only problem is the Dragon boat races are held in June and it is very hot. The Dragon boat races are open to all participants, professional, University, and private organizations that want to participate. It is definitely a lot of fun.

Walking from the Love Boat area all the way to the Heart of Love River was such an experience. I walked at night and there wasnt much to see really. However as the lights of the surrounding streets reflect over the river, it is a very beauitful sight. If you are lucky, you will see fireworks. I would say it is a really nice place to go for a stroll or jog in the morning or at night, but preferably during the cooler seasons because it is summer right now, so it is super hot.

This is an amazing place to take a walk. It's so beautiful on both sides. There's beautiful flowers planted along the side and unique buildings everywhere.

This is an 85 level sky tower with a viewing deck on the 74th Floor. It is also a hotel and has a few shops, a bar and a restaurant. We stayed here and the room had an amazing view of the harbour (or city if you choose that option). Our room was on level 55. The room was spacious with a big marble bathroom all the necessary amenities. We made use of the gym and pool as well. You need a cap to use the pool Staff weren’t overly friendly, at check in they were efficient and ‘routine’. The staff helping to get cabs were the best. We appreciate our late check out of 1pm. The area is a short walk to the light rail which gets you to pier 2 easily. Walking distance to a station as well.

Impressive views over the city. For an observation deck, it would have been nice to have outside space. Windows bit dirty for taking proper photos. We'll worth the visit though when visiting the town as it gives you a good overview of the city.

The building was designed by C.Y Lee which has an unusual 'prong' design with two separate 39-floor sections, which merge into a single central tower rising to a spire. This unique design leaves a substantial space below the central part of the tower which was inspired by the first character of the city's name (高). Most observation windows in the building offers views over the Kaohsiung City, the Love River and the Kaohsiung Harbour.

250nt/person to go up with the fast elevator that goes as fast as 600m per minute and the view at night is really nice though the windows are very dirty and the usual hazy skyline of Kaohsiung makes the visibility somewhat limited. they have a nice cafe serving food, hot and cold beverages including local Kaohsiung beer. on a Sunday evening there was hardly ten people.

One of the best places you could imagine to watch the sunset, the building architecture is simply beautiful and the view amazing, going upstairs from the first floor took very little time because of the high speed elevator,(you should take a video once you get inside the elevator and before start going upstairs) , the best time to go is around 5pm so you can see the city during daytime and minutes later the night view, there are some volunteers whom are willing to explain to you about the city and the history of the places, they had an excellent english speaking person too, he was very kind and dedicated to what he do, the tickets are not as expensive as going to the Taipei 101, is around NTD 250 per person, but you also get a discount of of you bring your student ID card.

160NT per person, and less if you show a student discount. Excellent 360 degree views of Kaoshiung. The observation deck wraps around the entire floor of the Tuntex Sky Tower. Ride the super fast elevator up to the 75th floor, then walk down to the 74th floor where the viewing room is. Elevator speeds reach 10 Meters / second. You can feel your ears pop as the mood lights change with the ride up. Downside - Some of the windows are covered in a clear film with little drawings on them to represent the city below. Tip for the tower - Either replace the film or peel it off completley. It is starting to bubble and wrinkle and causes the view below to appear murky and foggy. Can’t take photos out side those windows because the bubbles and wrinkles get in the way. Telescopes are available to use around all corners of the tower. Fun to put in a couple coins and play i-spy games. No open air access. Totally enclosed. There is a restaurant at the top that serves coffee and Haagen Dazs ice cream. Also a souvenir shop with tons of trinkets. A small arcade section including foosball. And galleries that include large-scale photos of the view below, butterfly exhibition and a Hello Kitty section.

This accommodation is not so bad and also super convenient spot which is located in city center near subway. Actually, this building is called 85 sky tower contains variety of lodgings and we stayed one of them called "happy avenue". All of facilities are pretty fine but the cleanness is needed to improve. BTW the price is so reasonable in these high value place; besides, self-service check in is so easy to do.

No queue on weekday, we reached at about 11am and there were hardly anybody around. The crowd only came after 1pm or so, and I believe that depends on if there are school excursions. The performances are worth a watch and very engaging, the performers made it a point to invite audience to participate. There are rides suitable for all ages from young kids to bigger kids/adults. Do come prepared with raincoat if you want to ride the wet ride or u can purchase on the spot. Indoor virtual ball throwing games are quite fun and addictive, which serves us well as wet weather activity.

You need to be age appropriate to even consider going to this theme park. Tacky decor at best, poor imitation of Greece in every way. Rides are good for teenagers and below. Very limited food places within the park, best to walk out to the outlet mall. Took us a grand total of 30 mins to finish walking the park. It's totally not worth it if you are beyond 20 years old.

Great rides for young kids! My daughter had a great time. We thought the price was a bit expensive to get in for what it is. But it’s nice that kids’ rides are inside with AC. We read previous reviews about the food and opted to go to the outlet mall for lunch.

Should buy ticket on klook. It is cheaper. You should spend all day here. You should go to the ferris wheel for sunset. If you go on honeymoon, should spend a night at the hotel.

Kids had lots of fun here. There's lots of rides for different ages.

Great amusement to spend the day. Not too big, and most people usually go to the food court in the mall to eat, so thankfully re-entry is allowed via stamp. Saturday I think the park closes a little later then the weekdays, so there was also another show that was played outside. I can imagine during peak times this place will be packed, so enjoy it before it gets to that point. Best place would be more for couples or families.

The main show at 1:40pm at the large theater was awesome. The other shows are ok and are still worth watching. There are 2 crazy rides that are quite scary and only recommended for the strong-hearted. The other rides are ok and a bit slow. There are 2 water rides that will get you entirely wet, so be sure to bring a pair of slippers, and your own rain coat (or change of clothes). The indoor center had many paid activities which feels a bit of a rip-off and are not recommended at all. For the food, recommended to bring your own food both to save time and money. Overall still an awesome experience and well worth the ticket price IMHO.

Good ambience... Its a great place to relax and take fresh air within the City. Its location was very nice for having a metro station.

Kaohsiung Central Park is more than just a park; it's a symbol of Kaohsiung's transformation into a modern, livable city that values green spaces. It successfully blends nature, art, and urban life, making it a must-visit destination for anyone in Kaohsiung. For Tourists: It's a perfect place to take a break from sightseeing, enjoy some green space, and get those iconic photos with the Rainbow Church and the city skyline. Its proximity to other major attractions makes it an easy stop.

Was told by the local this is probably the most beautiful MRT station in Taiwan. A small pet store is located inside the park. Numbers of artist performing in the park. Best place for family time with children.

Nothing much there but huge spaces, playground, water fountain. Nice to walk about during cooler weather. Peaceful.

Central Park is more than just a park — it is a landmark that reflects the city’s history. Even today, it showcases the resilience and spirit of the locals. From the artistic MRT entrance to the winding paths throughout, every visit is a true delight. Whenever I can, I come here to observe everyday life, and walking through the park feels like experiencing the passage of life itself.

Nice little park to sit and people watch. Shady bench seating. Public restrooms. Even found locals playing tennis on a clay court. First time seeing a clay court in person.

This is a nice park to walk through when you want to enjoy a bit of nature but not go on a hike. It was a rainy day though so that wasn’t as nice. The park is nice and spacious. I liked the lake and the bridge. I met a friendly pigeon that day and that was pleasant. It is a well presented park and the mrt station is basically at the end of the park depending on which direction you go in from. There is a cafe there as well which is cool.

The entire campus is quite peaceful and somewhat well kept. We were there on a weekday, so the crowd wasn't too bad. There was a group of school kids seemingly on their field trip that was making the museum 'lively'. There are three stories to view different types of art. Some are quite nice and some are well...unique. It's a nice place to bring the kids for a half day trip inside the art museum.

exceptional museum! there were 3 exhibitions and all of them were super interesting. the pieces showcased there were all high quality, with no weaker works. I loved how each art piece was displayed in an unique way, emphasizing each artwork's colors. the curators really showed an amazing display of their skill with so many creative solutions. i'd spent 3 hours there and each minute was wonderful.

One of the best arts museum I visited in many countries. Nice place to walk around with many pieces of fine arts. Entrance fee is not expensive (180TWD per pax). I think the entry fee might vary regarding reach of exhibition period (I don’t think it will be much varied, but yeah, please check again before you visit) The museum composed of 4 floors for the gallery with plus 1 basement gallery. The atmosphere is very nice - bright, chill and clean. Recommend for everyone who love or not love in arts. You will have a very best moment and experiences here.

Great museum. 90 ntd for adults. Spacious, well maintained. Some temporary exhibition down the basement and on the third floor. Most of the artworks are modern ones. Some rooms are for local artists, which is super nice to see some aboriginal art. Also lots of green spaces around the museum. Can take the light rail to get here. Also a flea market nearby. Can spend half of your day in those neighborhood for sure

Amazing space! Full of art! People are lovely and welcoming. Recommend you to visit but you should know it takes a lot of time ti see everything. Enjoy your time there, think and relax.

At 2pm there is a free guided tour of the “快乐岛”. Recommended to join!

The architecture of the museum is simple, elegant, and spacious, creating a calm atmosphere that enhances the art-viewing experience. The museum has exhibitions spread across 4.5 floors, each featuring different types of artwork, with a strong focus on modern and contemporary art. The curation and presentation are thoughtful and well-executed, definitely worth taking your time to explore. The staff inside are friendly and helpful.

Pro: I love the architecture of the Japanese era building. I enjoyed the brief history animation of the city in the first room. English speakers may want to purchase the audio service or read the brochure outside of the cinema room. The landscape models of the harbor at different periods was educational. I wish they had said more about the martial law, 228 terror, the democratization but much of those displays were not in English. Recommended for the traveller seeking insight into Kaohsiung.

It is important for us to learn from history, good or bad. Very proud of the Taiwanese government for doing this and allowing everyone to learn about 228, this specific piece of history, Democracy is good. The building itself is gold as well, Japanese Imperial style.

Free with a cheap audio guide. Lovely museum, not too big. The audio guide is a help, but sometimes too detailed and not very "fun". The quality of information is amazing, though.

Not alot of readable info in English. Stop by only if you're in the area for the historic significance of the building and its artifacts. Or for some AC and to use the clean restrooms. Admission is free. Very clean and no crowds. Otherwise, skip it. You'll find way more info about Taiwan's rich history online.

It is good museum. They have a lot of things to explain about Kaohsiung. Even as a foreigner, I learn a lot about Kaohsiung city

We had a free day and decided to visit this place, and I’m glad we did. We had a wonderful time; there were lots to learn about Kaohsiung and how it came about. There were dynamic displays as well as innovative art sections. In addition, entrance is free! On the ground floor, there’s a souvenir shop.

Very nice museum that showcases the history of Kaoshiung or Takao as it was originally known as. The museum is set in this building which itself has quite a bit of history. Not going to provide any spoilers hence whoever that is in Kaoshiung, highly recommend this museum. Surprising that it is free admission hence worthy to travelling here. One will expect to spend at least 2 hours here going thru some artifacts as well as some interactive exhibits.

A nice place to go in the afternoon to enjoy a nice walk. There is beautiful harbour view and sunset. The park itself is not very big. Full of old stuffs that you can understand how people lived here decades ago. The only downside is that restaurant and shop staffs are unfriendly and without passion.

This place is ok, but the best part is the yacht ride. We got the yacht from Pier 2 on a Monday, it leaves at 3:40pm on weekdays at the moment (their website said 3pm but they said sometimes it changes so might want to call first). Got a round ticket as the shuttle bus to Xiaogang station doesn't run anymore on weekdays. Worth every cent (nt300 return). We got to see the entire length of the Port and got heaps of great photos. My parents loved it.

Good place to learn grandpa life and have many fun and knowledge with children

The traffic is not convenient on weekdays. Only by ferry or self driving. However the ferry have a guide to introduce the port of Kaohsiung history and development from 19 century, Japanese colonies to after world war II until now. However the ferry fee cost me around 560 NTW it is little bit expensive. I suggest go to there on weekend or public holidays because the traffic will more convenient and they have a package for the ferry and other sightseeing point

Nice place to learn about some history and tons places to take some Instagramable pics; however the public transit is really bad, need to drive there

It's clean, well organized and it's quiet. Lots of photo opportunities. Difficult to find and get to though.

Not much to see but some container ships and a few old buildings. Very far from the city centre.

Has been 2,5 years in Kaohsiung, but actually, I haven't explored every corner of this place. The books are so complete and the AC is so comfortable. They will close at 10 pm, so it is convenient for someone who want to change environment to work from campus or your office to another comfy area with charger and AC. The staffs are friendly as well.

Plenty of seats with variety of view and settings for readers to choose from. A small English book collection can be found on the 5th floor. I spotted many interesting ideas from the library to engage readers. The basement library has a wide selection of picture books for young children.

First choice for public to study, search for books and indulge themselves in the quiet environment surrounded by books and knowledges !

The Main Kaohsiung Public Library offers an incredible space to read, learn, and hang out. The library space is unique in so many ways - the rooftop garden offers incredible views of the city skyline. There are multiple books to read, work on your project, or just nap. There are exhibitions, activities, and all kinds of other things going on almost daily. It is an incredible space

I visited this library several times to gain inspiration since I am a librarian myself. It's an interesting building with a really nice rooftop. I am especially amazed by the beautiful exhibitions inside the library, they are done with so much care and seem very high quality. I can't tell much about the content since I don't understand chinese but it's a great place just to hangout. Some people seem to complain about the noise but when I was there it was really quiet. The modern library is supposed to be more of a community space than a quiet reading room anyways so I wouldn't mind it to be more lively either.

Motorscooter street parking seems very limited. It is indeed a beautiful building from the outside, but I'd rather not park far away and hike to the front door. There were adequate vacant handicapped automobile spaces near the front entry. Website does not say anything about public parking facilities.

This is a terrific, quiet, and comfortable place to do some work. Staff is friendly and the building is very modern. I enjoy visiting a lot!

Historic museum of Kaohsiung’s former busy port train station. There are three exhibit rooms, which have a multitude of artifacts on display, along with exterior decommissioned trains and a former trail rail yard . The interior is really interesting and includes items from former ticket date stamps to a blackboard with writing from over a hundred years old to items from the former Japanese garrison here. There are two friendly guides who help explain the history of the area. Public attractions / no tickets required.

Kao Shiung little Choo Choo train station museumwhere you wont find Thomas. Here you will get to know more about Kao Shiung railway history where the deco and things are kept like back in the early 1900s. Now its part of the LRT where you can catch a ride thu the arty Pier 2 or even walk over as its close. Lastly, dont forget to dono to the train museum!

A really nifty train museum. If you are a train fanatic, it is worth the trip. Keep in mind that they do not have a lot of English translation if you don't read Chinese.

Really exciting place to visit. A lot of fun for kids and adults. Maket just perfect, you easily can spend an hour watching trains moving around. They offer VR video about the history, very interesting. Small train trip is a fun, especially to see big boys and girls on this tiny model. Great installations outside. Take combo ticket, much cheaper. The only regretful point is lacking of information in English, but most important parts are duplicated, so it's ok

If you are already in the neighborhood of this railway museum, then it's worthy of making a stop to stroll through this tiny older building. It has preserved the original room arrangement well, the wooden counter, the bookcases, the VIP seating area the maps & photos on the walls and bulletin boards as they were like some 90 years ago. Can you imaging many merchants and people from all walks of life hustling and bustling through this tiny railroad station? To further relive that old scenes, there are a few old engines stationed on few abandoned railroad tracks with a backdrop of a modern transit railway running through every once in a while. You couldn't hear the sharp and loud whistle from those antique locomotives anymore, in stead you are hearing a mild ding-dong bell sound from the transit train when they're coming and leaving the track side platform. I noticed visitors that came here didn't show much interest in inside the station, they hurried out through the door to the old train station platform. Using those old engines as the background in their selfies was their main attraction. Perhaps I was there alone, so I spent time browsing inside to see what this train museum has on display. There was a 20 minutes constant running video on the history of this station and its neighborhood that I found it very informative. Surprisingly enough that I found that the staff on duty have no idea as to how and why the port of Kaohsiung was given the name Takao (打狗港) many decades ago. Perhaps, next time when you stop by this railroad museum, which is just outside one of the subway exits at Sizihwan Station (a very strange English spelling), I suggest you to spend half an hour or so checking out their displays and watch that video before you go out to the back taking selfies.

Just near the Hamasen station and a walking distance to Pier2

This is the lesser of the two museums in the area. Still worth a visit as this is more historic, but very cool. Not much for kids. The admission is free at this museum. There is a huge train yard where kids can run. In the afternoons when there is more wind people will fly kites.

It's a nice place to bring your kids. If you are a tourist and an adult then you can skip this place. Exhibition entry fees is 100ntd and for the 3d movie 150ntd. But yes it does tell you a lot about Taiwans industrial revolution and other achievements.

Recently visited the Teamlab interactive exhibition. Went on a weekday and was surprised to only see a handful of people there. Have been to the same exhibition by Teamlab in Tokyo. Whilst I was not expecting it to be the same level as Japan was disappointed that it was only two areas with a similar theme in both. Still an enjoyable family day out.

This is one of the if not the best science technology museums I have been to. You could easily spend there the whole day. There are activities for kids and adults alike. This is a highly recommend.

We went for Team Lab. Fabulous interactive experience. Good for all ages. The tickets are a bit expensive but the money is definitely worth it.

This museum is very poorly arranged and looks very outdated. I was completely lost upon entering the museum. The first floor was a dead-end so I went to the 6th floor. A movie was showing there and it began by counting down, not from 2025, but from 2014, so you can imagine that the museum haven't updated that exhibition in 11 years. All the exhibitions were very very verbose and information dense, which is totally unhelpful for foreigners or kids. Several exhibits were completely in Chinese. Some of the translation are completely wrong. For example, "mankind" or "humans" is directly translated as men. There were large areas with clutters and several exhibits were completely closed (despite you paying). This place is technically a daycare center. If you are an adult, especially foreigner, avoid avoid avoid!

Would not recommend for tourists, very empty with many exhibitions closed. Everything was very old and many interactive activities broken, it seems as it’s simply past its prime. Many areas are so dimly lit it feels like you shouldn’t be there. Not sure how this place is still open, weird vibes all around.

Good exhibits. Aimed at kids, and I had a lot of fun too. The floorplan is a bit confusing.

Qishan Old Street is one of the most famous and beloved old streets in Southern Taiwan, located in Qishan District, Kaohsiung. It's a fantastic day-trip destination known for its rich history, distinctive architecture, and, most importantly, its incredible local food. Qishan Old Street offers a perfect blend of history, culture, and gastronomy. It's an essential destination for anyone wanting to experience the authentic flavor of small-town Taiwan. It is a very "old" street.

An interested and great food street. When visiting here, you can visit Meinong Cultural Village across the bridge too. See beautiful and wonderful flower fields(Feb-Mar)

Definitely worth it! It's not so busy during the weekdays and you can try so many different specialities using their famous banana 🍌. A nice trip outside of the big cities!

A small but lovely street. Lots of food stands and a variety of banana based products. The most interesting of stores is the moose peanut candy shop near the old station.

Visited with family. The old street is popular for its Banana-made products.

If you are looking for good food and traditional Taiwan street, come to visit here.

Worthy to visit. Very cute little town to visit and they have couple of vegetarian restaurant as well. Lots of food to choose from. Love it!

Nice souvenir shop and many toilets available. But since the first ride is at 1 pm on a Tuesday, we ended up going to the Gushan ferry.

We took the ferry to Qijin island and it was good. The time was organized, for us it was every 30 mins a ferry would arrive. It was 60ntd a person and discounted for children and seniors. You can use the easycard or pay cash, unfortunately they dont have change so you have to adjust. Overall great service.

It’s pretty good to be here to eat/ drink something with sea view. Here is also a creative market. You can find some nice handmade stuffs in here if you like it.

Here has very nice view and is a place to hang up with friends as well as enjoy awesome pier scenery.

Very creative to turn an old warehouse into a shopping district...

Kaohsiung Harbor view You can see Chill and nice spot if you visit Kaohsiung You should be here :)

Nice restaurants and shops.

Good view from outside, huge but empty.

Great place, clean and big the only concern is the space between the seats, it's way too small once you're seated, if someone wants to pass in front of you it's almost impossible, the space is too small. Not enough space between the rows of seats

We go there to see an show for the kids, it was great, clean well keep and the show was quality. Top

Nice place but during the visit is raining

Is a place where is better to go on afternoons cause there are many free performances outside. Besides that, there is not much to see but some small sculptures decorating the grass. There's a library where small exhibition are made. You also can find payed conferences/performances but be aware that most of them are im chinese

The architecture of the place is beautiful It is a good place to stroll around with friends and family

I am scheduling training activities recently for the conference room on the second floor and meeting rooms on the first floor, they are clean and quite meeting places with reasonable price. Highly recommended.

Love this place. It’s modern, spacious, and really easy to walk around. The facilities are clean and well maintained. I went to see Les Miserables at the opera hall and truly enjoyed the experience. The sound system was great, the seats were comfortable, and the overall atmosphere felt professional yet welcoming. The building itself is beautiful and feels very open, almost like part of a park. It’s also super easy to get to since the MRT station is right next to it with no long walk at all. A perfect spot for performances, relaxing, or just spending a quiet afternoon exploring.

I had a extraordinary experience watching Shen Yun performing art here, gonna come back next year 👌😍 The location is good, right after getting out the MRT exit 6

What a nice place for concert hall and the price is not expensive comparing to your experience you will get from this place. It is such a nice architecture that you can hang around with many corner for photo taking apart from music experience.

Architecture and the whole atmosphere of this area is magnificent. However, went to opera house for a show today. Seatings are numbered in a unusual way, which is fine but staff might need to take some extra steps to guide the audiences to their seats. Half of the staff are super chill and didnt do the guidance work but just give you really simple instructions. Turned out so many people just kept walking in circles and couldnt find their seats, so chaotic.

Interesting architecture. World's largest theater complex under a single roof. Friendly, professional staff. Lots of awesome performances.

A nice infrastructure to visit in Kaohsiung. Specially you can have a nice outing time under some trees near to a lake. They have many functions in their theatre.

Great design, superior acoustics, a MUST visit in Kaohsiung! If dining facilities is strengthened with better signage, it is perfect!

A gathering of wholesalers, you can view but they don't always give you a try on. Most of the shops have unfriendly staff. Maybe they don't entertain walk-in customers. There's no public toilet nearby and the shop won't share their restroom. They don't even tell you where is the nearest one.

Umbrellas have been changed from solid colours to striped ones. Apparently they’re not retail shops but more wholesale stores. Tried to buy a piece of clothing but they rejected me because I wasn’t from a business. Still nice to admire the umbrellas on a sunny day

Umbrellas seem to be gone again! Not worth going to this street, unless there’s something you want to see in particular - the shops are mostly not the usual retail shops, so not suited for normal individual customers. There are better streets for clothing.

This district only starts business at 11am. Shops do not allow trying of clothing even putting them without changing to try the cutting. Most of the sales personnel were unfriendly and some were rude. The nearest restroom is at the Mrt station under construction. Not worth checking out the street at all.

Unique umbrella sightseeing and female shopping mostly for female ladies.

A stretch of street decorated above by umbrellas. Lots of stores selling dry goods and some food stalls. Just great and so artistic.

No umbrella and basically an empty street... ( around 5 pm, June)

The walking experience was amazing. Timing would recommend maybe sunset to dark, catch the sunset and the night ambience to chill and listen to the surround was peaceful.

Great water front view and spacious walking area for a day trip. It’s a beautiful place to visit and take memorable pictures.

Was here around 3-4 PM on weekday and surprised that there wasn't many people as we expected to be. But it's a perfect place to bike, although the heat summer won't give you mercy 😅

Went during noon time, quite hot and sunny. Recommend to have a walk after 4:30pm. One of the highlight of Kaohsiung

Came here at night, it is quite beautiful but also hot at the same time. However, due to the incoming tornado, they need to bring those light ballon back to prevent some damage from the wind. U can come here after the tornado season.

It is one of the best places to see in the city. It is a complete package of the ferry tour, food court, a night walk, light shows, and a performance theater. Most crowded at the night on weekends and there is a metro train linking the major points around the glory pair at affordable prices. Meanwhile, it also has a u-bike stand. Recommended visiting here in the evening.

When I was in the army, I was lucky enough to see the brilliance because I was drawn into the Marine Corps. It happened that Kaohsiung held the Lantern Festival back then and the cooperation with drones was very beautiful. It was much better than this year’s Taipei Lantern Festival. I don’t think Taipei spent 780 million.

The overlook is fine, but the park area around it wasn’t kept well the day I visited, and the military road block around the corner was a little crusty for a tourist area.

The view up here is spectacular. Prior to stopping here, we went to the British Consulate to check out the view there. There's a fee there and the view was average. There's no fee here and the view is much better. If you're only wanting the view, I recommend this as the place to visit.

A very beautiful and peaceful place. You can visit any day, any time, free of cost. The serene and clean environment allows you to observe the entire city of Kaohsiung. It's the perfect spot to enjoy stunning sunrises and sunsets.

better book an uber when visiting this place…even if there is a nearby tram station you still need to hike going up

It’s on a small hill, so some hiking will be required to reach the spot. I recommend climbing the stairs beside the police station, then following the road up to the spot and not follow what google recommends as some of the stairs are blocked by trees and debris.

I went here a couple of times, and whether it is sunset or sunrise this is the perfect spot to see the beauty of Kaohsiung City ❤️

Great view over Taipei. Remember to wear mosquito repellent!

Wonderful live jazz at wijazz Sunday afternoon. $600 admission. Very cozy and intimate venue with wonderful harbour view. Drinks were good. Very friendly atmosphere. Will come again for sure! Glad we found this place. And easy to get to on light rail.

The hall is large and the sound system is good. No wonder so many artists and concert organizers choose to host events here. Sitting in the front rows, the view is clear, and you're not far from the stage. The air conditioning was comfortable. Around the venue, there was a small market set up, and people were sitting by the river enjoying the view. The atmosphere was very nice.

Such a cool spot in Kaohsiung! 🎶 The place looks amazing — super modern with wave-shaped buildings and great lighting at night. I came here just to walk around and ended up staying longer because the vibe was so nice. You can chill by the water, take photos, or catch a concert if there’s one going on. The sound inside the main hall is awesome, and the whole area feels clean, open, and creative. It’s easy to get here by light rail too. Even if you’re not into concerts, it’s still worth visiting just for the view and atmosphere. Totally recommend checking it out! 🌊✨

Highly noticeable due to its location and architecture. It's close to the harbor, making it a usual photography subject. At night, this iconic attraction is being lit with vibrant colors. I was told there are times when light shows are being held.

It’s an iconic architectural landmark in the city. It’s spectacular and the scenery changes throughout the day. The neighborhood is very walkable and pedestrian friendly. There’s no shade so it’s better to visit either early in the morning or before sunset

If you're already walking along the Kaohsiung bay anyway (which you should do), there's no harm in paying the building a visit. There's not much to see during my own visit, though. Inside, the architecture didn't feel as special as it looked like from the outside. Maybe you'll be able to catch a show or an exhibition catering to your interests here.

This gorgeous building is elegant and many events are held in and around it. It has easy access to transport and great views of the water front.

Not the most exciting location. It's just volcano soil slopes and there is a lake in the middle with a walking track around the lake. The weather was very hot when we visited, which probably reduced the enjoyment for us.

Had an activities today. Have many people. Nice event. Nice park. And An amazing work of nature. Must visit.

The Tianliao Moon World Landscaping Park is a famous and real scenic spot in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. It's known for its unique and dramatic "badlands" topography, which resembles the barren surface of the moon, hence the name "Moon World." The Tianliao Moon World Landscaping Park is a unique and must-see natural wonder in Kaohsiung. It offers a chance to witness a "lunar-like" landscape without any need for science fiction—it's a powerful display of natural geological forces. If you are interested in unique geology, a visit to Tianliao Moon World will be a memorable experience.

When visiting the park during the day, it is advisable to carry water bottles and umbrellas. The park's size is relatively modest, yet the surrounding mountains exhibit remarkable beauty. You'll find a public restroom and a 7-11 store right in the visitor center building for your convenience. And don't worry about parking – there's plenty of space available. Plus, there are loads of restaurants nearby to satisfy your hunger.

Amazing scenery! You will feel like you are walking in Jurassic Park. I came on a rainy day and it was really beautiful; there were clouds stuck in the mountains. Bring umbrella and hiking boots in case the path is full of mud

The place is larger than expected, and the view is very special and very good. The place looks better than it on photos. Highly recommended to have a relaxing walk here with friends or kids. There are 7-11 store near the entrance. Small amount of Parking spaces are available as well.

A great and interesting natural landscape to behold. You can definitley get your daily steps in as you make your way through the park. I enjoyed an awesome view at the top of the Moon Lake. The mud rocks look so surreal.

Magic place and great for the family. The facilities and natural parts of the park are exceptionally managed. Don’t hesitate to visit.

Lots of fun things to do, beaches, hiking, night markets, viewpoints. The views in every direction from any place is great. Doesn’t matter if you’re tired. Wake up for sunrise and stay away until sunset and through the night. One of the best things to do is rent a bicycle or scooter and explore the area. Go to the national forest and the most southern tip of Taiwan

Went after typhoon passed. Big waves. Flooded paths. Beautiful beach but ruined by lots of rubbish

It’s no Yellowstone but it’ll do the trick if you’re keen to see a beach. The area is pretty and worth visiting if you’re in Taiwan. Expect crowds and lots of touristy development. Biking around is nice and the water is nice at the many beaches.

Great place. Nice beaches. ☀. 🏖. 🍻. 🍲. 🎶. 🌊. Lots of restaurants to choose from.

My favorite place to visit in Taiwan.

Kenting National Forest Recreation Area: Stop at the Visitor’s Center and get a walking route planned will maximize your visit. There are several paths to go on depends on your interests (e.g. ecology, wildlife) and how far you want to go. Observation tower and the caves are some of the must-sees.

Definitely worth a trip It has a little bit of everything Parking on the weekends/holidays could be extremely hard. The Suzuka race car track doesn't really get full because of many physical requirements that people can't pass :p (I can't turn right all the way in the car for two. There are many outdoor and indoor amusement park facilities and several play areas. They all have their own fee system. And honestly, picking one direction to focus could be plenty for a group already. The overall experience was good. I will be back.

I went there during the Rosie Blackpink event. It was so much fun! I wanted to go on the rides but was scared. I went to buy some cute stuff.

A train ride away from the Kaohsiung airport via red line. Spacious mall with many seats to take a rest in between shopping through its various stores. Clean restrooms. The foodcourt at the upper floors cater to different cuisines.

Love it! It has an amusement park enmeshed in it, street performers, and seasonal decorations which kicks it up from similar clean and new-(looking) outlets. The food court has a good selection although there is nothing too tasty. The layout is good.

It is an Outlet shopping mall combined with leisure fun park. There are many rides from the bumper cars to racing circuit, from Circle wheel to Air Racers. It is. It crowded so there is almost no waiting needed But for some of the games, there is minimum height requirement of 110cm. The fun park is not huge but good enough for children to spend half a day. The mall has many brands like the usual Nike, adidas and the rest. On level 3, there is a big food court and many other restaurants option but you may have to queue during lunch hours. On the same level, there is amusement area that you can have all the games machines for children to play. All you need is to change tokens from the counters, coupon that you get could be exchanged for small gifts such as key chains, pencils etc. There are also children’s stroller for public and a Service Center in the mall to assist with your needs.

It is a wonderful place to bring your kids. They will have such a great time that parents will heave a sigh of relief. It's an paradise for kids and a spiritual resort for parents. You can also come here at night since the night view is also amazing. Come and take a look. Ha...

Very nice place for kids to play, it's all about driving and is good for 1 and up. The mall is OK, mostly American stores, so if you are from America, might not be worth it for the shopping. The kids toy store has mostly imported toys, extremely expensive according to American standards. But the whole place is extremely clean and the food is good. The sports area looks really good too. Overall, A good place to visit for half a day it is right next to the Kaohsiung MRT station. Everything is pretty expensive though.

New place for this revitalise old building to new retail space concept. Not such a big place. Not many artsy things, there are few nice wall murals. Limited food and drinks options. Better to visit at night.

Cute area with art and a lot of shop. The price is very reasonable and the product has cool design. Nice vibe in Tainan.

Blueprint" park here would directly contribute to that narrative, repurposing the city's industrial "blueprints" into a new creative future. It is good to have a cup of drink and enjoy a afternoon.

Loved this kind of creative places which are plentiful in Taiwan. How they repurpose old spaces with a fresh presence to the neighbourhood. The nights are beautiful in Tainan thanks to the ambience.

Historical park Small alley way and shop sell food and beverage as well as souvenirs The only thing I don’t understand is why this park has so many cameras, way too much!

This place is not spacious, there are many painted walls and many cafe,there are also souvenir shops, when I came yesterday there was a show that was entertaining

A great place to roam around and discover new things at every corner. Lots of little places, restaurants, cafés. We bumped into the first place which has lot's of small stalls where local artists/manufacturers display their goods that can be purchased on the spot. There's a little restaurant/bar inside that place too and we ordered spaghetti Bolognese and hot chicken wings. The spaghetti and the drinks were incredibly good. We will definitely come back before we leave.

The temple is very beautiful. I came on the 1st of the Lunar month, they were holding a prayer ceremony. It felt very sacred. Do not sure how to get there, if they had a map, or introduction it would be better. Opposite is the Quan Cong temple. The red wall outside is very beautiful in pictures.

The vibe here is sacred but cozy. I loved how the space feels both ancient and peaceful, with beautiful old architecture and little details to explore. It was nice to see locals coming in to pray and go about their rituals. I also made my own DIY amulet and really enjoyed the experience. A quiet but special spot in Tainan that’s definitely worth stopping by.

Very beautiful temple. We came on a rainy evening and explored the temple. The kids enjoyed the DIY talisman activity which also had instructions in English

One of the four ancient temples in this area with about 400 years history at time of this visit. Traditional Chinese temple design, good place to visit. Temple is Taoist as base, small Buddhist section at side of temple. Similar to lots of Chinese temples.

Beautiful temple with hundred years of history. Must visit when in Tainan

A particularly interesting temple with a number of fine paintings, stone tablets and bas relief sculpture, some dating back as far as the Ming Dynasty. Should you find yourself in the neighborhood, inquire at Share House Cafe nearby if you are interested in getting a terrific and scholarly overview of its history and the symbolism and meaning of the artwork contained therein.

Very educational to see and learn about mazu. It is a very peaceful place with a fair amount of worshipers.

Very few shops, not much choice. Worth the time if you are in the area. Fantastic bakery with sublime chocolate cookies.

Tiny and not very long. Not a lot of choices but cheap. Had 2 bowls of soup for 100 TWD ($3.40 USD) No tourists. No English. ChatGPT told me there were 500 food vendors… it was more like 30. Next to the orange MRT line at Fongshan.

Small street night market, have many local street food, hotpot is quite delicious. I like a bekary with traditional cake of Taiwan.

Nice!

Old school night market. If you know, you know. If you want to know, get off the scooter, take a stroll, and try a few things. Remember to be patient, be courteous. If you are reading this review, you are most likely a foreigner and many of the cultures and traditions you may not understand. Just remember to be courteous and patient and people will return in kind.

This is easily the best in fried food vendors. Huge turnover means everything is super fresh. Never greasy. A great value.

Meh. It's okay. Small. Lots of scooters driving by. Not a pleasant walk because always dodging scooters.
