Kaohsiung: Where beauty meets culture and industry

This special municipality of Taiwan has been a famous port and industrial town for many decades. Apart from being the most bicycle-friendly place in Taiwan, the transformative power of the people here is evident in the famous Ai He – “Love River” which has been transformed from being a polluted river into a beautiful must-see spot for anyone who visits Kaohsiung.

Irrespective of whether you are in love or is someone searching for love, this place is one of the most beautiful places in Kaohsiung. A river ride in the gondolas is highly recommended.  You can also explore the Pier 2 art district and Takao railway museum nearby. Don’t forget to check out the following two places: Cijin for the best seafood and Sizihwan Scenic Area for the most gorgeous sunset in Kaohsiung.

It is so thrilling and enigmatic to walk into the Dragon’s mouth – the only way to cast away your bad luck – and to come out of the Tiger’s mouth to embrace your new fortunes. Around the beautiful lotus pond, you can also find many temples, a botanical garden, Spring and Autumn Pavilions.

Formosa Boulevard Station

The Dome of Light was named the second most beautiful subway station in the world by the American travel website BootsnAll. You can deposit your luggage at the nearby lockers, explore this famous station, and then proceed to Ecological District, which is the closest station to the Lotus pond.

Anywhere else to go?

• Liuhe night market and Xinjuijiang shopping district – for great street food and shopping experience around Central Park Area.

• Fo Guang Shan Buddha Memorial Centre, the largest monastery in Taiwan, is also an amazing cultural experience worth exploring in Kaohsiung.

Enjoy! And don’t forget to deposit your luggage at the various Lalalocker facilities – so that you can enjoy your vacation the way it is supposed to be – luggage free and carefree!

List of Lalalockers in Kaohsiung can be found here.
