Even if you’re not a “nature person” you won’t want to miss this opportunity as the end goal is not to be missed. Along the way, experience nature, Taiwan’s unique flora and fauna, and some treats of historical architecture. The first culinary adventure of the day crowns this hike accompanied by a gorgeous sea view. Something for thrill-seekers is up next, wakeboarding at Kaohsiung’s Lotus Pond. The theme must be clear by now, as a port city life here revolves around water from the sea to Lotus Pond, then onto Kaohsiung’s famous harbor.

After the sun goes down, the fun doesn’t stop. Kaohsiung is rich in culture too. For those who want to soak up the atmosphere and check out some Taiwanese art, the Pier-2 Art Center is the place to go.
