Itinerary strategy: a day trip to Kaohsiung, recalling this artistic city

saw the photos I had taken before, and recalled the travel routes of Taiwan I had traveled.

My itinerary sharing:

  • MRT Formosa Boulevard Station Light Dome → Liuhe Tourist Night Market → Pier Two Art Special Zone → Eslite Bookstore → Dream Mall

Most travels are still free when traveling to Taiwan Everyone will choose to travel around the island. The city of Kaohsiung may be a transit city for most travelers, or it may be one of the destinations for traveling around the island.


When I left for Taiwan, I took the northern city from Taipei to Gaoxiong.

Kaohsiung is in the south, at the southern entrance of the Taiwan Strait, and is the gateway to southern Taiwan by sea. lives near the landmark 85 building, which is also the city center. When I went there, it was already night. When I arrived at the hotel, I put down my luggage and went straight to Liuhe Night Market.

On the way to Liuhe, you can pass the Formosa MRT station. We also went to take a look. The fame of this subway station, in addition to its own special, is probably due to the fact that the American travel website "BootsnAll" ranked among the 15 most beautiful subway stations in the world in early 2012, and it ranked second . The public art work inside the

station, the Dome of Light, was personally created by the Italian artist Narcissus Quagliata. No surprises, but no disappointments.


At the beginning of the 1940s, many food stalls gathered in the Liuhe night market in Dagang in the late 1940s. Since 1987, the Kaohsiung City Government has planned the Liuhe Night Market as a pedestrian zone from 6pm to 2am every day. Vehicles are not allowed to enter the Liuhe Night Market. Since then, Liuhe Night Market has entered the internationally renowned tourist night market.

After I went there, I felt that there were not many people, and it was not as lively as the photos, so that’s good, we can go shopping slowly.

Large intestines with small intestines, stinky tofu, squid, lo-mei and other delicacies can be tried. But I still think that the food in Taipei's National Taiwan University business district and National Taiwan University business district is delicious and cheap, maybe near the university.


z0 It is not only a landmark of southern Taiwan, Is also the 13th tallest skyscraper in the world. It was once the tallest building in Taiwan Province before the completion of Taipei 101, and it is still the second tallest building in Taiwan Province.

The famous Kaohsiung Port is near the Pier-2 Art Zone. The Pier 2 Art Special Zone is considered to be a Loft cultural area, formerly a port warehouse, after 2000, it was transformed into an art exhibition area. It provides a space for artists and students to create and publish, and occasionally organize cultural and artistic activities.

There is an Eslite Bookstore here, which is quite large and has a good atmosphere, where you can sit and read books.




noon randomly walked into a beef noodle shop, is actually a brand, there are many stars of signatures.

It is said that Taiwan beef noodle is a special diet invented by the veterans who came to Taiwan by crossing the sea because they missed their hometown on the mainland. In fact, many shops in Taiwan are full of materials, basically such a big bowl of so much meat, and the price is not expensive. This bowl of beef noodle is about RMB 20.


The Dream Mall is a large shopping mall. Among them, the HELLO KITTY Ferris wheel on the top floor, named "Eye of Kaohsiung" is the most distinctive. The Ferris wheel has air conditioning and explanations. At first, I was a little scared, but I was attracted by the beautiful scenery soon after.

bought a lot of things here, friends who love shopping can include it in the itinerary.

  • MRT station Formosa (0.5 hours) → Pier - 2 Art (2 hours) → dog CITIZEN Road Storyland (1 hour) → West Bay National Scenic Area (1 hour) → Tagou British Consulate (1 hour) → True Love Wharf (0.5 hour) → Kaohsiung Love River (0.5 hour) → Liuhe Tourist Night Market (2 hours)

This is the tourist route we used as a reference at the time, and it can be visited within one dayWe have adjusted a number of attractions according to our needs.

Kaohsiung only stayed for a while during this trip. The impression of Kaohsiung is that there are few people, the streets are very clean, and the bus uncle is very nice. Compared with Taipei, I prefer Kaohsiung because Taipei is busy. Although Kaohsiung is also a big city, it is not so busy and has a strong artistic and cultural atmosphere.

If you are a young person, it is not recommended to go to Taiwan with a group. After all, the language is spoken and travel is completely barrier-free. Nowadays, mainland residents in 47 cities have been suspended to go to Taiwan for free G endorsements. Continue to wait and see, after all, there are political factors.
