Overview

Make the most of your time in Kaohsiung with this private, worry-free shore excursion designed especially for cruise travelers docking at Kaohsiung Port. In just one day, immerse yourself in a vibrant mix of cultural landmarks, creative spaces, and scenic waterfront views that capture the spirit of southern Taiwan.

Begin your journey at Lotus Pond, where colorful temples and lakeside pagodas create a striking and photogenic landscape rooted in local tradition. Continue to the breathtaking Dome of Light at Formosa Boulevard Station, an awe-inspiring installation that blends art and architecture in one of the world’s most beautiful transit stations.
