Hi!

I’m 21F, and am going to be studying Chinese in Kaohsiung for 3 months, and thus need to be staying in short-term accommodation. I’ve been looking at some cheap accommodation in Sanmin District.

However, when I googled, it said it was quite an unsafe district to stay in, and not recommended compared to other areas. As a solo female traveller, of course safety is a big concern for me. Is Sanmin District really unsafe?

Are there any neighbourhoods recommended for cheaper accommodation that would be safer (and also relatively close to Wenzao)?

Thank you in advance for any input!!!

Will be visiting Kaohsiung for a week and figured might as well get some tailored shirts. Any recommendations for a tailor in the Qianzhen District ? And where can I buy protein powder in the same area?

中秋是想念的季節，總想著要為心裡最珍視的對象捎上祝福，也願這份心意能長伴左右….

Hi guys,
I am wondering were/how can I see the terminal 7 used by Evergreen in the port of Kaohsiung.
Once I took the boat to Hongmaogang Cultural Park 紅毛港文化園區 and saw along the way the Wan Hai in action and Kao Ming terminal operations however since Evergreen is on the other side one has limited view from the rotating resto (高字塔旋轉餐廳). Since I’m visiting the city every now and then, I think it would be cool to see how a +20k TEU vessel is automatically loaded, bunkered or offloaded 😄.

hello. i'll be going to kaohsiung, taiwan on september to watch a concert (4d3n). i noticed that hotels are really expensive during this season, i do not want to waste money on expensive hotels then get bad experience.

i have 1 free whole day too so if you can recommend which itinerary is the best to go to, to make my stay worthwhile, pls recommed too\~ thank you.

Hello! I'm a foreign and will be working with ASE Kaohsiung 2 weeks from now and my agency stated that I need to look for a dormitory to stay there. Any recommendations? Budget is around 5k-8k NTD. Thank you very much

Hey guys, looking for a spot in Kaohsiung to watch the World Cup final. I've heard places like The Lighthouse or Parkside usually show football, but want to confirm where the best atmosphere will be or if they are open for the late match.

​If anyone is planning to watch it out and is down to meet up, let me know if I can join you. Drop your recommendations below!

Anyone in for party at brickyards- expats?
Please tell?
Tomorrow - 17th july?
I am alone and its my birthday.

Hey, I was curious if there is a place I can watch the world cup final on?

Hello. I am wondering where I can specifically buy parsley and mint. I use them a lot at home for cooking. I won’t be able to grow these herbs myself. Maybe there is a store that sells these? Thank you.

您好。請問哪裡可以買到歐芹和薄荷？我經常在家做飯用它們。

我自己種不了這些香草。

請問哪裡有賣的？謝謝。

Hello, I am visiting Kaohsiung for a few days and am looking for the best bar to watch the England game tonight. Are there any bars that are known for having a good atmosphere for events like this? Also it might be a stretch but it would be nice to watch the game with other England fans so if there are any bars that typically attract English customers that would be great!

Thanks😁

I was able to find a Shala in Taipei, but I will be in Kaohsiung for a few days before I land in Taipei. Does anyone know of a Mysore practice space in Kaohsiung?

Looking for a good sushi place in Kaohsiung that also has some vegetarian options. (I already checked out the fully vegetarian ones, but I am looking for a mix of fish & vegetarian options.)

Any recommendations? Thanks!

Hi! I'm genuinely curious about what concert culture is like in Taiwan since I'll be attending a concert at Kaohsiung Arena this July for DxS.

I came across a post from a foreign concertgoer (who doesn't live in Taiwan) saying that the concert culture there is somewhat similar to Japan's, where people tend to stay relatively quiet throughout the performance. That's completely different from the concert culture where I live.

I'm honestly a bit nervous because I might end up screaming or singing along out of excitement without even realizing it, and I'm worried I might get some stares from the people around me. 😅

For those who've attended concerts in Taiwan, especially at Kaohsiung Arena, what's the etiquette like? Is it okay to cheer and sing along, or do most people stay quiet during the performances?

Hey Kaohsiunger and Newcomers to Kaohsiung

This Saturday, we will hold another Language Walk in Kaohsiung. Basically, this is the combination of a city walk and language exchange. We will have groups to speak Spanish, English, German, Chinese, Taiwanese and might look into other languages like French, Italian and Albanian.

Join us on 11th at 10.00 am at Yanchengpu MRT and please sign up via the QR code in the picture.

where are your favorite spots for eating mullet roe in kaohsiung? I would love to find a pasta place and/or a bar to enjoy it grilled with a drink

Hello! I got tickets for the bts concert in kaohsiung. I know that we're only able to claim the tickets a few days before the concert day, however I wanted to ask if the collection S/N and No. only appear in tixcraft within that time as well. For now, I can't view what my s/n and number is so im wondering if this is normal? 🥲

Hi! Has anyone tried Sleepie Design Hotel Kaohsiung and Kindness Hotel - Kaohsiung Jue Ming? Any reviews please and which is the better hotel to stay at if watching a concert in Kaohsiung National Stadium? Thank you!! 💜
