The Yellow Rubber Duck at Kaohsiung’s Glory Pier has become extremely popular, attracting over one million visitors since its launch. Ways to view the duck have evolved from aerial views, cycling on land, and boat rides, to an integrated sea-and-land experience combining railways and passenger ferries. Taiwan Railways will launch the “Sea & Land Cruise Combo – Let’s Go See the Duck Together” on October 11. Not only can you take the Ju-Guang painted train south to Kaohsiung, you can also enjoy a classic railway bento on the train. Upon arrival in Kaohsiung, you’ll transfer to a shuttle bus heading to the pier to board a cruise ship, experiencing the most comfortable way to see the duck.

The cruise-style duck-viewing train launched by TRA will depart from Douliu at 8:00 AM on October 11. The train will make a stop at Qiaotou Station, with an arranged visit to Qiaotou Sugar Refinery. After arriving at Kaohsiung Station, passengers will transfer to a shuttle bus to Banana Pier, then board a cruise ship operated by Taiwan International Ports Corporation to get up close to the Yellow Rubber Duck from the sea. In addition, during any waiting time before boarding the ship or returning by train, you can freely explore the Pier-2 Art Center to see the “100 Years Before Doraemon Was Born” special exhibition, or visit the Kaohsiung Railway Story House to experience the atmosphere of early railway passenger and freight operations.
