Favorite thing: Faokuangshan is Buddahsim saint place.
The most famous is hundert thousands golden statues.

Faokuangshan is not only for monks, but also for normal people who would like to touch Buddahism, for example there is college for Buddahsim knowledge and camps for children.

fish transport

Favorite thing: Kaohsiung is big harbour and has individul fishing and business ports.

Fishing port stays all kinds of boats and what can catch your eyes may be big ones.
To catch big & high-valued fish fishermen work on ocean for several months. They use big net to transport fish from boat to land. Fish hills on ground are picked up quick by labors into big bags. Bags in truck go directly to fish can factory.

Love-River at night

Favorite thing: Love-River flows through Koahsiung's heart into sea. Because of industry pollution, once it was Koahsiung people's plain. However, now it's their pride.

Its face in day and at night are very different. At night the river belongs to lovers. If you are so lucky and that don't need to stand in line, please just take boat for short sightseeing. The amazing landscape with breeze can melt your heart.

Twin Pagodas

Twin Pagodas.

Favorite thing: Visit the Dragon and Lion Pagodas. The dragon's throat is the entrance and the lion's mouth is the exit. This symbolizes turning bad luck to good fortune. Inside there are paintings of heaven and hell and of China's most obedient sons.

Night Markets
keeweechic profile photo

2 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

keeweechic 10971 reviews

Fondest memory: One of my fondest memories was wandering around the city night markets. There were 3 of us on the first part of our tour. A Japanese gentleman who lived in Brazil and didn't speak much English (not that that mattered, we got around it) and a lovely Professor from Iowa University (who has remained a good friend of mine). We had no idea where we were going but we just left the hotel, first stopped for some dinner, then continued walking. We ended up wandering around night markets. The city at night was brightly lit with neons everywhere, some fairly suggestive ones at that :-).
