Kaohsiung Port Shuttles

Along the southwest shores of Taiwan, the vibrant seaside metropolis of Kaohsiung City is a beautiful way to get introduced to the island. Just a short walk from downtown, the Port of Kaohsiung offers ideal drop offs to nearby museums and beaches of the Qjin District’s off-shore island attractions. Get through the modern city by utilizing one of many public transport options such as the Shihjia Subway Station’s cross-town transfers, or utilize the ferry boat departing just outside the Kaohsiung Exhibition Center - also located just outside the exhibition center is the Kaohsiung Exhibition Center Light Rail Station, while a handful of more intimate transfers include basic sedans ideal for quiet coastline drives to Chaishan Avenue, as well as family trips to secret beaches with a larger van. Meet-and-greet services provide simple drop offs ranging from the relaxed ambiance of local personal drivers, luxury arrivals to upscale restaurants like Ukai-tei made possible by limousines.

Truly get to know the neighborhood by first exploring the port’s adjacent island, especially cool nearby landmarks ranging from the waterfront ambiance of Cijin Windmill Park’s unique eco-friendly design that calls for renewable energy. A relaxed promenade also looks out at the sea, offering continued beauty throughout the nearby Cijin Shell Museum and its shell-inspired architecture and colorful mosaics. Look forward to dramatic 19th-century views from the cool and relaxed Kaohsiung Lighthouse afterward, walking to the top of the stoic structure for glimpses of each nearby landmark, afterward getting a bit of history with armament views from the next-door ambiance of the Cihou Fort. Continue toward the mainland for even more landmarks, just beyond the reach of the lighthouse rest dramatic sunset-friendly shores of the Sizihwan Scenic Area. And for dinner, choose from a few restaurants close to the port, whether it be through chandelier-adorned French at Thomas Chien Restaurant, or flavorful Canadian cuisine from Yaletown Bistro.
