    I highly recommend this place. You must go here when you come to Kaohsiung. It is just up a flight of stairs. In addition to the British retro style of the building, there is also a small exhibition of historical stories from that year. The scenery outside is also beautiful.

    Next to the SKM shopping mall, you need to pay an additional NT$100 for a go-kart lesson. The track is very exciting, the go-karts are very fast, and playing with classmates allows you to compare your scores and rankings, adding to the tension.

    Not long ago, I went to the Kaohsiung National Stadium with a group of friends to attend a long-awaited concert. As soon as you enter the stadium, you will be immediately struck by its spectacular architectural design. The entire venue is like a hovering dragon, with a smooth and dynamic appearance. It shines in the sun during the day and is particularly charming when decorated with lights at night. The seating area is built around the stage, allowing every audience member to have a clear view of the performance. When the music starts, the lights and stage effects interweave, and the building itself seems to become part of the performance. This time, we not only enjoyed a wonderful musical feast, but also deeply felt the grandeur and charm of this stadium, leaving behind unforgettable memories.

    I recommend starting with the 4D and then slowly moving on. You don't have to take the train, and the games are all kid-friendly. Staying overnight at the E-DA Hotel is even better, as it's quite spacious and offers plenty of shopping.

    The name of Love River is romantic enough and it has a strong cultural atmosphere for young people. You can also take a boat ride on the river to enjoy the scenery along the way. At night, the night lights are turned on to reflect the beauty of the straits on both sides.

    There is seafood in Cijin Peninsula, plenty of snacks, and concentrated attractions, so you should set aside at least half a day to play. If you want to play slowly, go to Boer to take photos and reserve 1 day for D. it's very suggest for everyone, specially for family.

    Second time to Kao Hsiung Arena. This place is a must visit whether you are here for an event or not. There’s a big mall connected to the arena as well. Truly a magnificent building!

    Cijin is such a charming island. You can get there by taking a ferry. Once on the island, you can rent a family electric car from a roadside stall, as it takes almost two hours to travel around the island by electric car. We can also hike up the mountain to see the scenery of the island, and then take an electric bike to sightsee along the bicycle trail. There is also a souvenir market on the island where you can go and buy local specialties. You can also go to the local seafood stalls to eat when you go out to the main street. There are many choices here.
