Kaohsiung’s Liouhe Night Market

liouhe night market kaohsiung

Liouhe Night Market in Kaohsiung is a real joke! And what the government has to say about it in one of its brochure is even more laughable. To promote this tourist spot, they claim: “Liouhe Tourist Night Market is the most glamorous night market in Taiwan. Many foreign tourists visit this place, making it look […]

Travel Kaohsiung in Southern Taiwan

lotus pond kaohsiung

10 Attractions You Just Can’t Miss! Are you one of those who think Kaohsiung is nothing more than an ugly, polluted industrial centre? I use to believe so… Until I spent 2 weeks traveling in and around the city in the fall of 2010. I realised that – contrarily to the usual assumption – this […]

Hengchun Travel Guide

Gateway to beautiful Kenting National Park, and a tropical paradise! Hengchun use to only be an ugly, uninspiring transit point between Kenting National Park and the rest of Taiwan. Driving through this township was once seen as an annoyance and a waste of time. Not so anymore. The city has now a vibrant tourism industry […]

Guanziling Hot Springs

guanziling hot springs

Long-time favorite for Taiwanese girls Guanziling (also spelled Kuanziling) is a small village located in the mountains of central Taiwan, between Chiayi and Yushan National Park in Tainan County.

A Travel Guide to Chiayi (Jiayi) in Southern Taiwan

chiayi hotel taiwan

Chiayi Travel Information Between Taichung (Tai-Center) and Tainan (Tai-South) rests Chiayi, a city with just under 300,000 inhabitants. It is firmly grouped in “Southern Taiwan”, bringing the Taiwanese-speaking and warm weather that comes with that distinction. While tourists usually only swoop in and out of Chiayi on their way to popular Alishan Mountain, the city […]
