Travel in Taiwan (2016, 1/2)
Have your camera ready when boarding the ferry to Qijin Island at Gushan Ferry Pier. Locals stream onto the lower parking-lot deck on scooters (you go to the upper deck, via a separate entrance). The ride across the narrow, ship-packed Kaohsiung Harbor is so quick that many don’t bother to get off their machines. Qijin Island is a 9km-long silt-created giant sandbar that serves as a breakwater and defines the harbor’s form. Its tourist area is on the north end, beyond the ferry pier.
Qihou Lighthouse, a snow-white 11-meter-high Baroque-style tower erected by the Japanese in 1916, stands at the edge of a sea-facing cliff guarding the harbor’s exceedingly narrow north-end mouth. Enthralling views of the busy harbor can be enjoyed as ships squeeze by below. The old Qihou Battery, on the west side of the hill, was built by a justifiably anxious Qing Dynasty government in the 1870s, fearful of invasion by the Japanese or Western powers.
The young, expansive, and still-growing Pier-2 Art Center (pier-2.khcc.gov.tw), a special zone that is at the heart of the city’s cultural-creative bloom, has become one of its most popular attractions. The numerous old, renovated Kaohsiung Harbor warehouses here, long abandoned, were formerly used to store such goods as fish meal and granulated sugar. Today they are cultural-creative incubator stages for domestic and international exhibitions, festivals, live indoor and outdoor musical, theatrical, and busker performances, and large-scale outdoor installation artworks and graffiti-style/3D murals, many wonderfully quirky and whimsical, some created by artists-in-residence.
The king of Kaohsiung has long been, and remains, the lofty 85 Sky Tower, which looks like a giant spacecraft propped atop two massive booster rockets, ready to launch. Two spanking-new structures, Kaohsiung Exhibition Center (kecc.com.tw) and Kaohsiung Main Public Library (ksml.edu.tw), are within easy walking distance. The park-surrounded harborside exhibition facility looks like a paean to Beijing’s iconic Bird’s Nest. Be sure to visit the green library’s lovely 8F rooftop hanging garden, which has a fine broad view of the harbor and Qijin.
What’s not to love about the Love River? On my first few visits, in the 1990s, it was a brackish “waterway” in which the water moved little, if at all. Today, thanks to dedicated eco-engineering, it is clean, the waters flow freely, and fish have returned. The landscaped banks are lined with benches, bike- and pedestrian-friendly paths, and attractive lamp lighting. The mood is best at night, when the cafés, bars, and small eateries are brightly lit up.

We start the day with a traditional Taiwanese breakfast of savoury soy milk, youtiou (deep fried dough fritters) and fluffy dumplings. This local spot churns out bowls of delicious savoury soy milk flavoured with chilli oil, sesame oil, tiny dried shrimp and pickles. Accompanied by an oily dough fritter and freshly made dumplings stuffed with chives and pork and cabbage it is the perfect first spot on our street food tour.
We then head to a local street side xiao long bao joint. This place offers up baskets of freshly steamed soup dumplings which we dip in vinegar and top with shredded ginger. The family who operate this eatery make the xiao long bao fresh, rolling the dumpling wrappers and stuffing them with a juicy, flavoursome pork filling. The wrappers are slightly thick but the flavour of the filling more than makes up for this!
Next up we stop for braised duck at a local institution Duck Zhen. The duck is served cold alongside shredded raw ginger. We eat the duck with bowls of rice topped with more slices of braised duck and drizzled with saucy braised pork belly together with some blanched cabbage.
It’s then time for a snack- a gua bao from a popular local joint. The gua bao is a steamed bun which sandwiches a thick slice of braised pork belly and topped with coriander and crushed peanuts. This one is simple and as far from the tricked up versions you often see- DELICIOUS.
Onwards to our final stop a bowl of shaved ice which helps beat the Taiwan heat! Taro, glutinous rice balls, tapioca balls, grass jelly and pineapple is loaded into a bowl and topped with hand ground shaved ice and sugar syrup. It’s textural, refreshing and tasty!
