When the officers arrived, they found Yen sitting by the roadside, appearing dazed. Police said other road users had kept watch over him after he allegedly attempted to leave the scene. A search of the vehicle turned up one packet of amphetamine weighing 19.4 grams, two etomidate vape cartridges, and one bottle of etomidate refill liquid weighing 57.5 grams, police said. A saliva drug screening test showed positive results for methamphetamine and etomidate, indicating suspected drug use before driving.

A recent travel guide has named 10 family-friendly attractions in Kaohsiung, highlighting theme parks, interactive indoor venues, ecological sites, and free destinations for visitors planning family trips around the city.

On Songyi Road (松藝路) in Niaosong District (鳥松區), cameras record when a vehicle enters and exits a 1.3-kilometer monitored section. If the time it takes to travel through the section shows the vehicle’s average speed was over the 50-kilometer-per-hour limit, the driver can be fined.

The department said vendors selling improperly labeled food, or refusing to identify suppliers, could face fines of NT$30,000 to NT$3 million. Serious violations could lead to suspension, cancellation of business registration, or revocation of food-vendor registration. Vendors whose registration is revoked cannot reapply for one year.

The civic Facebook page 高雄好過日 (@takaogooday) reported that NT$150 million has been secured for the restoration of the Imperial Crown-style old station building (帝冠車站), with the Kaohsiung City Bureau of Cultural Affairs (高雄市政府文化局) expected to handle the project on behalf of Taiwan Railway Corp. The project is expected to be tendered as early as July, with restoration taking about 18 months to two years and possible completion in 2028, according to the post. The restoration funding and timeline were also reported by Yahoo News, citing local reporting.

Kaohsiung City Councilor Chang Po-yang (張博洋) pointed out that cruise passengers often have only a few hours in the city before returning to their ships. Chang said that means shops need to be easy to identify, easy to reach, and ready to serve foreign visitors.

Local officials argue that Fongshan, Kaohsiung’s most populous district with over 350,000 residents, should be considered as a future transport hub. Legislator Hsu Chih-chieh (許智傑) and several Fongshan representatives previously suggested that a high-speed rail station could be integrated with the existing Taiwan Railways Fongshan Station (鳳山車站).

Organizers highlighted that this year’s APG included several inclusive initiatives, such as gender-friendly restrooms and enhanced gender awareness training for staff.

Motorcyclists are calling on Kaohsiung officials to change traffic rules at the Y-shaped intersection of Jhongjheng 1st Road (中正一路) and Sanduo 1st Road (三多一路) near Weiwuying (衛武營), saying the current two-stage turn requirement is inefficient and creates safety conflicts.

The dispute highlights a familiar problem behind Kaohsiung’s “pedestrian hell” label: even after a deadly crash, officials, residents, and businesses are still arguing over what counts as walkable public space, who is responsible for keeping it clear, and whether painted fixes can protect people when sidewalks are missing or compromised.
