Description

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.

Includes

  • The British Consulate at Takow
  • Kaoshiung Port Warehouse No.2
  • Kaohsiong Hamasing Dai Tien Kung Temple

Interesting Tour with a very motivated, symphathetic guide

Very interesting walking Tour with a very friendly and enthusiastic Guide, Billy. He spoke perfect English. It was just me on the tour and I had a lot of opportunies to ask questions. I learnt some interesting facts about the City and the area around the Harbour. Can highly recommend the Tour!

Sunday Morning Well Spent!

I did this tour on a Sunday morning. It ended up just being myself and the guide and I was overall really impressed. Daphne’s English and communication was excellent and it was great to learn about the history of Kaohsiung (and a little about Taiwan in general), while seeing some local sights around the Yancheng District. I would definitely recommend. Thank you!!
