2. Liuhe Night Market, Shinkuchan and Love River
Liuhe Night Market is a must-go in Kaohsiung. Being just an ordinary street during day time, it will transform into a lively night market at night. When the lights are lit, the busy Liouhe Road which is near to the Main Station will turn into a food paradise. Becoming a new leisure and tourist spot, Shinkuchan is not only a shoppers’ paradise for youngsters but also a place for artistic and leisure activities. These have successfully shaped Shinkuchan into an international tourist night market. Don’t forget to visit the Love River!
