Kaohsiung is Taiwan’s largest port and is the second-largest city that has undergone a cultural renaissance. Today, you will find modern metropolis of airy cafes, wide streets, waterside parks, cycling lanes and cultural spots. Kaohsiung is a home to excellent museums, one of Taiwan’s top arts venues, the finest jazz bars, and a hot-blooded music festival. There are also two beaches within the city area that you can enjoy, with 1000 hectares of almost-pristine forest right on its doorstep.
