Âm thanh Kaohsiung Tour đi bộ

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.
