Located in Southern Taiwan, Kaohsiung is Taiwan's largest port city and also one of the largest ports in the world. Not as modern and vibrant as Taipei, Kaohsiung has a peaceful and gentle character. The weather in this lands is more pleasant, benign and less rainy

Public transporttation in Kaohsiung includes buses, subways, and taxis. To travel from Kaohsiung to other cities, you can also use trains and high-speed railways (HSR). When travelling in the city, choosing the bus or subway is the most reasonable method. The bus is not only cheap but it also guaranteed to be on time. However, if you don't know Chinese, learning about bus routes can be difficult. Therefore, we recommend that you should use the metro (or taxi) instead of the bus.

Fo Guang Shan Buddha Museum
When coming to Kaohsiung, you can't miss the special destiation Fo Guang Shan Buddha Museum, which has the tallest Buddha statue in the world. Right from the entrance gate, you will be overwhelmed by the beauty and magnificence if this large Buddhist building on an area of 100 hectares. The center of this place is a 108m high bronze Buddha statue, next to it are 8 beautiful stupas.
Majestic building and a very beautiful place to view displays and exhibits related to Buddha. Even for non buddhists like us, the place was nice to visit and informative. The whole Fo Guang Shan area would require almost a day to visit and walk around. Even the grounds are beautiful.
Ai He (Love River)
Ai He is translated as "Love River." Love River runs through the middle of Kaohsiung, Taiwan's port city. You can take a stroll along the banks of the river and get a snack from one of the food stalls. A stroll by the river is a popular outing for young people. If you have time, you can take a boat trip and see the city of Kaohsiung from the water.
This is a must-see on your list of places to visit in Kaohsiung if you come during Valentine's Day and the Hidden Festival. The two sides of the river are beautiful, with gentle decorations, gifts, street food, and fun activities.
