Kaohshiung, Taiwan

It took a bit longer to get from Lukang to Kaohshiung than getting into Lukang. A taxi, local train and subway ride and four hours later we were at our hotel in Kaohshiung. We were able to get early check in again!

Our hotel recommended a restaurant for lunch. The folks there provided us a picture menu and helped us order. It was pretty good.

After we walked over to the Pier2 Art Centre and browsed the artsy stores. Kaohshiung is more of a cultural hub than other cities in Taiwan, with two (!) Zaha Hadid Architecture buildings to see. It's a nice variety from all the temples we've been seeing so far.

We were close to Formosa Blvd subway station so checked out the Dome of Light, an art installation inside the station. On the way there we walked past the Museum of Labour which looked interesting, but for another day as we had lost our steam.

Took the subway back to the hotel and made plans for the next day. There’s a few things on the list so we’ll have a full day.
