- Attraction Introduction -
- Great Harbor Bridge
The Great Harbor Bridge is the first horizontal swing bridge in Taiwan and the longest cross-harbor swing bridge in Asia, accessible to pedestrians and cyclists. - KW2
Combining cultural heritage with the rustic and minimalist elements of the warehouse, this space has been transformed into a unique waterfront lifestyle area for Kaohsiung Port. Featuring a dreamy all-white carousel, it has quickly become a favorite spot for art and culture enthusiasts. - Banana Pier
Formerly a warehouse dedicated to Taiwan's banana exports, it later saw a decline as the industry changed. Because the banana shed is located at the intersection of Kaohsiung's first and second ports, it offers a view of ships entering and exiting the harbor. The Port Bureau named it the 'Sea Viewing Platform' and outsourced its operation to provide intellectual waterfront recreational services. In the afternoon, sitting at the open-air cafe on the pier with sunlight filling the harbor and the shimmering sea sparkling, you can fully enjoy a lazy and romantic time at Kaohsiung Port. - Former British Consulate at Takow
The site includes two British-style buildings constructed in 1879 and a historic mountain trail. Among the existing Western-style modern buildings in Taiwan, the Former British Consulate at Takow and its residence are the oldest.
