Things to do in Kaohsiung International Airport
Kaohsiung is Taiwan's southern port city and second-largest urban center, with a more relaxed pace and lower prices than Taipei. The Pier-2 Art Center, a revitalized warehouse district along the harbor, has street art, design shops, and galleries that reward a 2–3 hour wander. The Dragon and Tiger Pagodas at Lotus Pond and the hilltop British Consulate at Takao (1860s) are distinctive sights. Night markets — particularly Ruifeng and Liuhe — serve Taiwanese street food classics until midnight.
