Kaohsiung has changed a lot during the decade since I last visited. Coming back to visit, I discovered a few areas I was not familiar with from before. One such area is the pier harbor areas, which Kaohsiung has transformed into a lively arts area, with several museums and small crafts shopping malls, and renovating the waterside boardwalk. I spent half a day touring around and checking out the various attractions, and I felt like there was still much more to explore.
I started from the art pier…
which was built next to the light rail network…
leading to an area with former factories, which were transformed into various attractions…
One such attraction is the railway museum…
Which, as you could see, has nice models of Taiwan.
Nearby are some lovely gardens…
and shopping areas…
With nice seaside views…
Overall, a real treat. Good job, Kaohsuing.
