Rui Feng Night market, another place to visit in Kaohsiung, Taiwan 瑞豐夜市

Rui Feng Night market is about 3/4 size of a football field. We reached there about 10pm and it was still very crowded. This place is very different from other night market I visited. The stalls are set up around a plot of land with no building beside it. There are stalls selling food, cloths [...]

Kaohsiung Tower 85, 高雄85大樓

高雄85大樓內包含了百貨公司,展覽廳,辦公室,高雄金典飯店,lounge bar和觀景樓層.其大樓最大特色就是在45秒之內上升至77層樓,速度目前僅次於台北101. 另外在74樓可360度環樓欣賞高雄市景,如果想要聽點音樂,喝點小酒可以到75樓的lounge bar ,裡面有live band表演。上74樓觀景層最低消費是NT100, 75樓則是NT350. I was looking forward to a great view of Kaohsiung from Tower 85. But my expectations were just too high for a place that is in need of a make-over. Plus you have to pay to go up to Tower 85. 100NT per head which you can use [...]

Sunset at 西子灣 ,Xi Zi Wan in Kaohsiung

西子灣以夕陽美景及天然礁石聞名. 每當日落西沉就有很多人前來散步,享受涼風,欣賞晚霞,觀賞海天一色的美景,也是約會的好地方. 那裡有個打狗英國領事館,號稱是全台灣第一棟洋樓,陳列一些歷史文物,古今景觀照片. 搭捷運到西子灣站,走大約10分鐘就到了!最快的方法就是撘計程車! 別忘了一定要到海之冰品嚐超大冰盤!! 这间冰店的特色就是可以随意,任意地在墙上和桌上留言,甚至乱涂鸦。还有超级大的冰盘。最大的是二十人份。大家一块吃,味道肯定不错吧!! Xi Zi wan is a great place to watch the sunset. The bench is large and from the top of the hill, you can view the entire coastline. And all ships needs to pass through this location to dock at Kaohsiung or move out to open sea.

Love River – 愛河, Kaohsiung

我們去愛河之前就听說那裡是個很不錯的景點, 那裡的夜景是越夜越美麗. 曾經吸引不少觀光客前來觀光旅遊,還可以一邊坐船一邊欣賞夜景,但至今已漸漸落寞了. 傳說中充滿浪漫色彩,散發人文氣息的愛河已經變成一條黯淡無光的河流. 景色也没有想象中迷人,的確令人大失所望, 不建議到此一游. 搭高捷到鹽埕埔站,出站往愛河方向步行約10分鐘後到達。 The famous love river seems to have lost that sparkle. We went there at about 9pm which is too late and dark. Recommend that you visit this place at 5pm when the sun is going to set and the lights at the love river beginning to come to life. [...]

Xin Jue Jiang is one of the Kaohsiung’s major tourist attraction. A very popular shopping place where youngsters go for latest fashionable items with small boutiques shop.
