Kaohsiung Travel Guide
Fiery southern flavors where the Liuhe Night Market meets harbor charm
A port city in southern Taiwan with a slower, more relaxed pace than Taipei — wide boulevards and a light rail line give it an unusually open, easygoing feel. With plenty of waterfront sunset spots, it's often called the “mood city” of southern Taiwan.
