Kaohsiung, on Taiwan’s SW coast, is its second largest city and is very cosmopolitan in character. As well as being a vibrant commercial centre, it has many industries, which, unfortunately, result in a frequent layer of smog.

The harbour is the country’s largest port and one of the major container ports of the world.

There is a marina at Shaochuantou with floating pontoons.
