Love River is undoubtedly the most representative spot of Kaohsiung and it is the spine of Kaohsiung.
It plays today an important role in its economy and tourism but it was once heavily polluted, when raw sewage and industrial waste water flowed untreated into the river. Recent efforts by the city government have resulted in significantly improved water quality.
Love River is today used for sightseeing and walking; there are duck boats, love boats and gondola rides for tourists to enjoy the city view.
A riverside park, the Love River Park, runs along the riverbank and a night market operates in the park in the evening in case you would like to have your dinner here.

Qijin
Cijin or Qijin Island is a small and narrow island about 10-15 minutes away by ferry from Kaohsiung harbor.
Here you will have some time to explore this little island. There are many bike rental shops on Cijin Island but you can rent or just take a drink in one of the bars on the beach and relax on the quiet Black Sand Beach.

Cihou Lighthouse and Cihou Fort are both offering great views of the ocean and island and a nice spot to take pictures. The colorfull Rainbow Church – which is actually not a place of worship – is also a nice spot to take some photos due to its colorful architectural, it islocated at Cijin Seaside Park.

The Pier-2 Art Centre
This is our favorite area to visit in Kaohsiung. If you are art lovers, take your time to explore the area with all the hidden galleries, some of them are free others require and entrance tickets.
"It was once an abandoned and forgotten warehouse buried in history due to the move from an industrial based segment to the service sector. However, with a group of persistent artist who injected waves of creativity and inspiration into the area, the Pier-2 area was released and re-born making the region a place where tourist and locals can come together to enjoy fine art. With the collision of an old area and new fine art, Pier-2 becomes an area of new vitality and liveliness."
