In the early afternoon we took the train to Kaohsiung. We left our bags at the hotel we will be staying, got a bus and went sightseeing around the city. We came across the Pier area; what used to be old warehouses it is now rebuilt and a trendy area of the city. There are a lot of sculptures, street art, etc.
On November 24 we went to visit some unique temples by Lotus Pond. We visited the Spring and Autumn Pavilions and a few other temples in the area. There were a few crazy guys water skiing in Lotus Pond… look at the system they use to ski, no need for a boat!.
We then headed to the City Centre and visited the main library in Kaohsiung, a modern building in the heart of the city. The view from the terrace is very nice, we could appreciate the modern style construction this city is adopting. Take a close look at the Convention Centre!
In the evening we took a ferry to visit Cijin, another area of Kaohsiung.
On November 25 we visited the local market of the area we were staying. We then headed to the Pier area, where there was a comics convention. It was fun to see almost all the attendees dressed up in their favourite cartoon character. We spent over an hour walking around and taking pictures!
In the afternoon we took a train to Taitung, a city in the east coast of Taiwan.
