Co vás čeká na pěší trase s audioprůvodcem v Kaohsiung

A Kaohsiung audio walk can trace the old harbor from a hilltop consulate through Hamasen and Pier-2's warehouse galleries to the Love River, or follow the Qing-era city gates of Zuoying around Lotus Pond's pagodas and pavilions to the Confucius Temple.

The Kaohsiung Harbor Walk starts at the British Consulate at Takow on its hilltop above the harbor mouth, drops down to the Gushan Ferry Pier where boats cross to Cijin Island, and passes the old Takao Railway Museum before crossing the railway lawns to the warehouse galleries of Pier-2. From the design shops of the Dayi row the route follows the waterfront to the curving halls of the Kaohsiung Music Center at the river mouth, finishing at the Film Archive on the Love River, about 3.7 kilometers and 59 minutes.

The Kaohsiung Lotus Pond Walk starts at the stone South Gate of Zuoying's 1826 walled town, visits the East and North Gates with their rare door gods, and then follows the lakeshore past the Dragon and Tiger Pagodas, where you enter through the dragon's mouth and leave through the tiger's. Past the Spring and Autumn Pavilions and the towering Beiji Pavilion statue, the route finishes at the Kaohsiung Confucius Temple on the lake's north shore, about 3.6 kilometers and 49 minutes.

Both routes are flat except for one short, steep stairway up to the consulate on the Harbor Walk, and both run through Kaohsiung's heat and humidity with long stretches of open waterfront or lakeshore, so an early morning or late afternoon start beats the middle of the day. Dress modestly for the working temples around Lotus Pond, and carry water on either route since shade is scarce until you reach the warehouses or the temple grounds.

Kam se vydat v Kaohsiung

Několik zastávek, které potkáte cestou, a důvody, proč u nich stojí za to zpomalit.

A painted mural warehouse wall at Pier-2 Art Center in Kaohsiung

Pier-2 Art Center

Pier-2 Art Center fills a row of plain harborside warehouses built in 1973 to store cargo on Kaohsiung's working waterfront, their walls now painted with murals and their sheds turned into galleries, studios and shops. Giant sculptures dot the open lawns between the buildings and tend to change from year to year, and local artists first reclaimed the sheds in the early 2000s after they'd fallen quiet as cargo moved to bigger terminals elsewhere in the harbor. About twenty five buildings now spread across three groups, and the Dayi row at the eastern end, once sugar and fishmeal storage, is the best stretch for browsing design stores and cafes. Kaohsiung's driverless light rail glides past on a grassy track right alongside.

Kaohsiung's harbor mouth with Cijin Island and the city skyline

The Harbor Mouth and Cijin Island

Kaohsiung's harbor mouth is a narrow channel with the long, low shape of Cijin Island on the far side, its lighthouse visible on a hill, and ships still ease through it much as they have for more than a century. A little over a hundred years ago much of this shoreline was shallow tidal flats, until the Japanese colonial government dredged the harbor and used the spoil to build the new land that became the Hamasen district. Across the channel, Cijin was once joined to the mainland until a second harbor entrance was cut through it in the 1970s, turning it into a true island with its own old fishing community and a Mazu temple said to be the oldest in the city. The bay curving away to the north, Sizihwan, is known locally for its sunsets.

Ferries docked at the Gushan pier for the crossing to Cijin Island

Gushan Ferry Pier and Cijin

At the Gushan ferry terminal, small boats leave every few minutes for the short crossing to Cijin Island, with walkers filing on in one line and a crowd of scooters rolling on in another, riders still in their helmets. The crossing itself takes only about five minutes and makes a natural detour from the main walking route, either before or after. Cijin was home to some of the earliest Chinese fishing families on this coast, and its waterfront still mixes fishing boats, tugs and ferries with the cafes and seafood stalls that now draw day trippers. Watching the choreography of scooters and walkers loading and unloading is half the fun of the stop, even if you don't make the crossing yourself.

The Dragon and Tiger Pagodas rising from Lotus Pond at dusk

Dragon and Tiger Pagodas

Two seven story pagodas rise straight out of Lotus Pond, joined to the shore by a zigzag bridge, with a giant dragon's head at the foot of one tower and a giant tiger's at the foot of the other. Built in the 1970s by the Ciji Temple on the shore behind them, the pagodas carry a simple, well loved tradition: walk in through the dragon's mouth and out through the tiger's, since doing it the other way around is considered close to the worst luck imaginable. The zigzag shape of the bridge is also deliberate, since evil spirits are said to travel only in straight lines and cannot follow the turns. Inside the towers, painted walls tell scenes from folk religion, and a climb to the upper floors gives a view back across the whole lake.

The tiled roofline of the Kaohsiung Confucius Temple

Kaohsiung Confucius Temple

The Kaohsiung Confucius Temple is a walled compound of sweeping tiled roofs on Lotus Pond's north shore, often described as the largest Confucius temple in Taiwan and built in the style of the Song dynasty after the temple at Qufu, Confucius's birthplace in China. After the color and crowds of the folk temples around the lake, this place feels spare and dignified, with its Hall of Great Achievement at the center and no fortune slips or gods to pray to, since Confucius is honored here as a teacher rather than worshipped as a deity. Its lineage goes back to the county's first Confucian temple, built in 1684, though the building you see was completed in the 1970s. Each September 28, a formal ceremony with music and stately rows of dancers marks Confucius's birthday and Teachers' Day.
