The steam train at Kaohsiung’s Pier-2 Art Center is back for the holidays! During the Lunar New Year break, the Harmen Pier-2 Line at Pier-2 Art Center’s Penglai Warehouse launched the “Mini Light Rail” — a Kaohsiung-style light rail train — along with two brand-new steam trains that are making a strong comeback, ready to join both kids and adults in celebrating the festive season.

In early 2015, the Kaohsiung City Cultural Affairs Bureau introduced the Harmen Pier-2 Line train experience, which was widely loved by visitors. The coal-fired steam-powered train was especially exciting for railway enthusiasts. From January 23rd, as well as the 24th and 30th — covering the first to the seventh days of the Lunar New Year — for a total of ten days, visitors can come to Pier-2 to ride the returning steam train and the brand-new “Mini Light Rail.”
