Kaohsiung Pier 2 Art Centre, Hamasen Museum of Taiwan Railway
A very nice public open space. It seems like an ideal hangout spot for the locals here especially the families.
Ruifeng Night Market
Crowded!
Day 6 : Kenting
Took a cab (4 adults + 1 child) from Kaohsiung to Kenting. Can’t remember how much, but definitely a better option if you are travelling in group.
Rented an electric bike/scooter to explore Kenting.
Kenting Night Market
Had some street food such as grilled squid, baked sweet potato, etc. Finally the real food, seafood! A lot of seafood restaurants available there. We just randomly picked one. But then diarrhoea got me the next day. Just me. Only me. I suspect it was the raw seafood.
Day 7 : Kenting
Day 8 : Kenting > Kaohsiung
Took the cab back to Kaohsiung in the morning.
Legend Hotel, a cutesy cartoon theme hotel
This is the hotel we were staying for the remaining days in Kaohsiung. Every floor has different cartoon painting. Kids love it. I love it too.
Day 8 : Kaohsiung
Dragon Tiger Pagoda, Lotus Pond
Cijin Island
A less than 5 minutes ferry ride to Cijin Island. It is cheaper using their EasyCard. Whatever public transportation, it’s just cheaper using EasyCard.
MLD Reading
A huge gallery-type book store in Kaohsiung. Worth a trip if you like gallery visit.
Day 10 : Kaohsiung > Hong Kong
Kaohsiung Airport
Flight delayed? Have some time to kill in Kaohsiung Airport? Lots of shops for you to use up you Taiwanese $ and lots of decoration you can take photos!
