About
台湾第二大城市和主要港口，以其工业重要性和风景优美的Love River而闻名。拥有Kaohsiung Music Center等现代景点。
Kaohsiung is Taiwan's second-largest city and one of the island's most important ports, on the southwestern coast. Its character comes from its working harbour and industrial base, but it has also developed a more relaxed side that many visitors find appealing. The city is also written as 高雄 or Gaoxiong.
What to see
- Love River - a scenic waterway running through the city, with paths along its banks that suit an unhurried stroll.
- Kaohsiung Music Center - one of the city's modern landmarks, a venue for concerts and performances.
- The harbour - a reminder of why the city grew as it did, and a good backdrop for understanding its economy.
Planning your visit
Kaohsiung suits travellers who want to see a major Taiwanese city beyond the capital. The contrast between the port and the riverside, and between older industrial areas and newer cultural venues, gives the city a varied feel. Plan your time around the river and the music centre, and allow an unhurried day or two to explore the rest of the city at your own pace. Check current details such as opening times and transport before you travel.
