In addition to its ocean views, sunset scenery, night views, and romantic atmosphere — as well as being Taiwan’s only lover’s wharf named after love — Xingda Port now has a new highlight: the Mayday “Future Elephant” has reappeared at Lover’s Wharf. The city government’s Marine Bureau specially completed the installation just before National Day, and it is expected to become a new topic of conversation during the National Day holiday, while also attracting a large number of fans to visit. The Marine Bureau invites people across the country to visit Lover’s Wharf during the National Day holiday to see and experience the charm of the Future Elephant in person.

In the past, the Asian pop music powerhouse Mayday served as Kaohsiung’s ambassador for three consecutive years and has a huge fan base around the world.

The Future Elephant stands 3.5 meters tall, is 6.2 meters long, and weighs one ton, making it a massive installation artwork. When asked about the meaning behind the elephant, Mayday’s lead vocalist Ashin once said, “Looking back on the journey, every step has been difficult, but I have never doubted, because I always felt that there was a calm, huge, kind friend by my side, accompanying me every step of the way.” The Marine Bureau specifically contacted the management company of the Mayday band and obtained their agreement to donate the “Future Elephant” to take root at Kaohsiung’s Xingda Port Lover’s Wharf, conveying the message of eternal guardianship and happiness for lovers, and preserving the shared memories of 170,000 people at Xingda Port Lover’s Wharf.
