Kaohsiung Harbor City Free Tour
♡ Save
Seaborne international trade is what shaped Taiwan as a country on a global scale. Visit its coastal brilliants to learn about the history and present life of the Kaohsiung Port.
As the economic and political center of Southern Taiwan, Kaohsiung - formerly known as “Takao” - is often deemed as just another metropolitan.
However, Kaohsiung is distinctive in its geographical characteristics. First developed as a fishing village and later blooming into a port city for international trade in the 20th century, Kaohsiung’s seaborne industry remains an important part of local life and a unique feature to visiting guests.
On this tour, we take you through fascinating insights into the stories that happened surrounding the Harbor City: from religion, foreign trade, a bit of politics, and a stunning seaside skyline, you are sure to witness the most charming side of Kaohsiung.
