Kaohsiung
Taiwan
“Sunny port city — art districts, harbor views, tropical vibes, cheaper than Taipei”
Taiwan's second-largest city and main port, Kaohsiung was a small fishing village called Takao during Japanese colonial rule. It developed into an industrial powerhouse and naval base in the 20th century. The city has reinvented itself through urban renewal, transforming former warehouses and docks into art spaces like Pier-2 Art Center. The Lotus Pond's Dragon and Tiger Pagodas are iconic landmarks.
