Tour description
Kaohsiung is a major seaport in southern Taiwan, a sun-drenched and laid-back port city that has transformed old docklands into waterfront hubs of art, design, and lifestyle. Warmer and more relaxed than the capital, it offers a very different perspective on Taiwan. On this walking tour, a local guide will introduce you to the city's maritime heritage and creative energy.
You'll stand beneath the famous Dome of Light, stroll along the romantic Love River, and explore revitalized port warehouses, now filled with art and cafés. Along the way, you'll learn about the city's industrial past and vibrant night market culture. Sun-drenched, welcoming, and full of flavor, Kaohsiung is best explored on foot.
