Kaohsiung | Wandering the City is the Most Relaxing Thing to Do

I still remember my trip around Taiwan My friend and I took a minibus from Kenting to Kaohsiung The driver looked like he was in his 70s He drove like a maniac The four of us in the back row My friend and I linked arms Exchanged glances "I feel sick" "Hold on" Next to us was a couple The guy held the girl tightly in his arms And shouted at the driver "Sir, did you drive for a gang when you were young?" The driver had a cigarette in his mouth "Young man, I'm driving fast so you can get to Kaohsiung sooner" Anyway, we arrived in Kaohsiung safely I didn't throw up I was hungry from the bumpy ride Luckily, there was a hot pot restaurant like Xiabu Xiabu downstairs, so I had a nice hot pot meal, recharged, and started my afternoon city walk ✅Visit the British Consulate at Takao, enjoy the combination of history and nature, have a cup of milk tea, and walk through the red house, as if traveling through time and space ✅Take a ferry from Xiziwan to Cijin Island, enjoy a walk by the sea, and try local snacks such as seafood and sausage wrapped in glutinous rice ✅Take the MRT back to the city and visit the creative art space, Pier-2 Art Center.
