With a one-month-long winter vacation and a nine-day Spring Festival holiday, many people are carefully planning to make their break fulfilling and memorable. From now until the Lunar New Year holiday period, the Kaohsiung City Government Tourism Bureau is launching the NT$399 Kaohsiung City Tour—three one-day tour themes: “Marine Culture,” “Wetland Ecology,” and “Floral Wonderland.” Tours can be arranged for groups of 20 or more. For individual travelers or families on self-guided tours staying in Kaohsiung with fewer than 20 people, from February 16 to June 28, as long as they book three days in advance and present proof of hotel accommodation, they can also join a half-day paid tour organized by the Kaohsiung City Tour Guide Association, with free guided services provided.

The three themed tours will take participants to Qianzhen Fishing Port, experience a cuttlefish roe sightseeing factory, enjoy an educational trip to the Native Plant Garden, engage in cultural and creative experiences at Pier-2 Art Center, and explore the Meinong Folk Village and Hakka Cultural Museum. In addition, starting from February 16, individual travelers or small families with fewer than 20 people can also join a half-day tour provided by the Kaohsiung City Tour Guide Association, including visits to world-class glass art such as Narcissus Master’s “The Dome of Light” public art installation, and historic sites like the century-old Takao Railway Station.
