Multiple ways to enjoy Kaohsiung this winter—now’s the perfect time to visit!

By the MOOK Scenic Spots Editorial Team

The first major event kicking off this winter is “2016 – Come Travel Here!: The Charming LinYuan and DaLiao Areas.” Visitors to DaLiao can cycle through scenic farmland, appreciate the charm of agricultural communities such as Wengyuan, Xiliao, Liuyu, and Sanlong, experience the life of coastal fishermen in LinYuan by trying out activities like net fishing and bamboo raft binding, and visit the Marine Wetland Park to see jellyfish and enjoy the sunset.

Another highlight, the “2017 Kaohsiung Lantern Festival Art Festival,” not only features traditional, creative, and religious lanterns competing in beauty, but also includes a waterfront theater and a bar street along the Love River. The grand finale—the Lantern Parade—sees domestic and international performance troupes and floats bringing the city to life every year. The Kaohsiung City Government Tourism Bureau invites all travelers across Taiwan to embark on a “Charming Lantern Tour” in Kaohsiung, using convenient transportation options such as double-decker buses, light rail, the new Qi Cruise, and local public transit to admire the magical light displays of the Dome of Light, stroll around Lotus Pond in Zuoying, watch the sunset at Qijin Bay, and take in the panoramic views of Asia New Bay Area from the Ferris wheel at night. Not just the Love River area—the entire harbor city promises a spectacular and unforgettable experience!
