Kaohsiung Harbor City Free Walking Tour

As the economic and political center of Southern Taiwan, Kaohsiung - formerly known as “Takao” - is often deemed as just another metropolitan. However, Kaohsiung is distinctive in its geographical characteristics. First developed as a fishing village and later blooming into a port city for international trade in the 20th century, Kaohsiung’s seaborne industry remains an important part of local life and a unique feature to visiting guests. On this tour, we take you through fascinating insights into the stories happened surrounding the Harbor City: from religion, foreign trade, a bit of politics and a stunning seaside skyline, you are sure to witness the most charming side of Kaohsiung!
