    Pier 2 Art Center is always a pleasure. I've been going for years despite living abroad. I like the general vibe of local artists coming together to foster sort of a creative safe space they can share with others.

    Especially since it involves former warehouses that have been converted to house these contemporary art spaces.

    The exhibits are always changing, each theme as interesting as the last, but some stay the same. For example, the railway museum with the mini-train ride has been there for a while. 

    The shops are nice, quirky, and unique, and it's always a pleasure to look inside. Keep in mind these are local, often indie shops, so a bit more expensive than usual, but solid products. Each exhibit has its own stamp (as in rubber stamp, not postage stamp), in case you collect those.

    All in all a highlight for me. It's easily accessible via light rail or MRT. When we went, there wasn't much going on, but last time (years ago) it was too crowded, so... luck of the draw, I suppose.

    Nice big clean mall easily accessible by subway. Toilets are plenty and clean.
    We went to the famous Heart Cheese cafe. I like their cheesecake is served as small slice with a macaroon and another dessert. So pretty and it's just the right portion. Coffee is good too. They have a 100min limit for patrons but as we are during during this Covid19 period, the place is quite empty so I think the staff doesn't care.

    We visited at night. Took the MRT to Caoya Station. Taroko park is just outside the exit. We visited at night and even in November, there were some Christmas decoration already up. Many bright and colorful lights. There was a carousel turning round and round and you can ride on the horses moving up and down on the carousel. Not many visitors though when we were there.

    Most night markets don;'t match the hype, and Liuhe is no exception. The street food is the real draw. Most of what else is offered is cheap stuff - fake tattoos, platic trinkets, and so on. It's an interesting place to be for a bit, but it's not a must-do in Kaohsiung.

    Shin Kong Mitsukoshi is a major department store chain in Taiwan. This Kaohsiung branch is right next to the city's high speed railway station. It is a vast space with boutiques and restaurants of all price ranges. Great place to spend some time before or after a train ride.

    This was the first major department store in Kaohsiung and is still an icon of shopping in the Taiwanese port city. A joint venture between local developer and a Japanese brand, Hanshin is the place to find international names like Hermes and Louis Vuitton. There are also supermarket and some nice restaurants here.

    My super sassy aunt brought me to one of Kaohsiung’s gems and I enjoyed every bit of it. The food, the clothes, shoes, household items, etc. Majority was affordable as it is a market. My aunt told me merchants switch almost everytime so better buy the item than fancies you rather than have seconds thoughts.

    I most especially loved the food. Definitely Taiwanese!

    Easy place for big brands hunters. Budget shoppers do look out for Daiso on Level 12. Few restaurants on the upper floors too. If you are there, not to be missed is the food street across the road at night!

    A big & very nice modern mall, with very nice shops. But prices are on the higher end though. Lots of local & tourists alike comes here. Near to Kaohsiung Arena R14 Station.

    If you plan to have a day trip to see contemporary art, you should go there. Very relaxing and leisure walk and don’t miss the chance to have food at its cafe, good food quality and atmosphere. If go with your friend, you can buy a food ticket amounted NTD600, including free entrance fee, and one full ticket amounted NTD250, including NTD50 usable in cafe. Then you can enjoy the visit and food altogether at the cost only NTD850 with a friend. It’s the best deal.

    This market is not very big. There is however a lot of choice from dumplings, to seafood, to fruit.... to name a few!

    The only downfall is the road is shared with scooters and you spend a lot of time dodging your way around them.

    Everyone we dealt with spoke enough English to serve us well.

    If you’re looking for a wide variety of Jade, this is a must place to visit. This place has hundreds of vendors with a wide selection of Jade and Jade pieces.

    Compared to Ruifeng and Luihe, this night market has more local stuff. Every night, we get to visit a different night market and even then, you can't finish visiting them all unless you stay many nights. Every night market has similarities and differences, and Taiwan is full of them.
