One-Day Design Tour in Kaohsiung: Three Must-Visit White-and-Grey Hipster Spots

By / MOOK Scenic Spots Editorial Team
 
Places such as art museums, cultural and creative parks, and libraries are often popular haunts for hipsters. Not only do they exude an artistic atmosphere, but some buildings with pure white and grey designs also create a clean and refreshing mood, while also being ideal locations for capturing artsy photos. Below are three white-and-grey spots with a hipster vibe.

Grey Grey Base Art Museum
Established in March 2017, this gallery is tucked away in an easily accessible urban alleyway and is a pet-friendly exhibition space themed around picture books and book illustrations. Grey Grey was originally a stray kitten with grey sideburns who often visited the museum. As the feline curator, Grey Grey has become one of the main reasons many people visit the gallery aside from viewing exhibitions.

Co-founded by picture book author Li Jinlun and a group of animal-loving partners, it serves not only as the online store for Li Jinlun’s studio but also as an animal-friendly association. Its mission is to provide care for elderly dogs and cats, as well as conduct community education and training on animal-friendly practices. Additionally, Grey Grey invites talented illustrators for exhibitions, making it a pet-friendly art gallery where you can bring your furry friends.

The Second Pier Warehouse (Stack 2)
The Second Pier Warehouse is a historic building located at Pier 2 of Kaohsiung Harbor, boasting a history of 104 years. Recently, it gained a new highlight—a brand-new all-white carousel by the seaside, the only one in Taiwan built right next to the ocean. It offers not only a sense of luxury and fairy-tale charm but also allows visitors to enjoy the sea breeze and scenic ocean views, creating a scene straight out of a romantic drama.
