MUST SEE
<National Kaohsiung Center for the Arts-Weiwuying>
Kaohsiung Taiwan Art Center
The art center is a building on a much larger scale than you can imagine. If you want to take a picture of the whole building with a camera, you have to use a wide-angle lens from a distance. Walk around the building and look at it from different angles. It turns out that the huge building is not symmetrical. This complex and attractive design is the work of Dutch mechano architects. Inside, there is an opera house vineyard where various performances are held. And the highlight is the illumination of the open-air seats that you can see from the grassy park at

<SMOKEY JOE’S Apartment>
Kaohsiung Taiwan Hotel
A fashionable boutique hotel. Perhaps it’s an American image of the 1960s, and pop art culture is also mixed. Very interesting design, good breakfast and reasonable price are better than the famous hotel chains. The location is also excellent.
