Cruising Sydney to Hong Kong 2025

Kaohsiung is in the south of Taiwan and is the second largest city in Taiwan.

The cruise ship terminal is very modern, having been completed in march 2023. The building is very impressive and looks like a silver-white hull with a towering chimney.

We made our own arrangements as usual and set off on a walk to the Pier2 arts precinct. Temperature was high 20s but humid. There were several interesting sights on the way.

I saw this sign alongside a couple of ships and thought that the positioning was unfortunate.

This is the Kaohsiung Music Centre, an impressive building that is even more impressive at night.

Even the foundations are interesting

Walking along Pier 2 with Pier 2 Bridge in the distance

Approaching the arts precinct

A pedestrian crossing cleverly painted so that it appears to have a speed bump

From the arts precinct we headed to the underground rail station more interesting sights on the way

We took the train to Formosa Boulevard where we knew there was an interesting light dome

The above ground architecture of the station was also quite interesting

From here we caught another train a few stops and then walked about 2Km back to the ship

This is the last port of the cruise. Next stop Hong Kong and flying to Sydney via Singapore and driving to Canberra for a couple of weeks before getting home.
