Fun day in Kaohsiung

Traveling and discovering new cities and places is so much better with friends but even better with friends that are locals!

Kaohsiung is the second biggest city in Taiwan and only 1h away from Tainan. On a beautiful Saturday my friend T. with her husband and her two boys decided to took me on a tour of the city to their favorite places.

Weiwuying Street Art Village

Located in Kaohsiung‘s Lingya district 苓雅

802, Kaohsiung City, Lingya District

Lingya District is located near the south of Kaohsiung City. It originated near Kingma, which was once a vacant plot of land for sun drying fishing nets. It was called Lingzailiao initially and later became known as Lingya.

I have been to Kaohsiung several times before but mostly to the same place which is called Love Pier that I have pictures of below. But I did not know this fabulous neighborhood and did not expect to see so much street art!!! I love it!!

Kaohsiung Lighthouse

80541, Kaohsiung City, Qijin District, 旗下巷34號

To get to the lighthouse and have an amazing view of the city and the harbor you will need to take a boat or ferry. I actually had never seen the lighthouse or even though there was sort of an island in Kaohsiung!

We took the ferry to go across which is super cheap and quick. The funny part was to watch all the scooters coming on board and then getting out of the boat!!
