Calls to reopen Hengchun Airport (恆春機場) are now coming not only from local lawmakers, but also local youth civic groups.

Taro News reported that “after the Ministry of Transportation reviewed and approved the revised plan, the Kaohsiung City Government now says the full line will open in 2034. The partial opening of sections Y1 to Y5 and Y5 to Y18 (from the depot area to the Weiwuying district) could occur in 2032.”

The Taiwan High Speed Rail extension to Pingtung will enter Kaohsiung Main Station then cross the Gaoping River to Liukuaicuo. The earliest full opening is targeted for 2039 and staged service is being assessed.

The Marine Debris Recycling Coalition has grown to more than 70 members since its founding in 2021. The exhibition is free and open to the public through November 2, at Pinway Warehouse No. 8 (Pinway 八號倉庫).

The redevelopment of Kaohsiung’s waterfront moves away from port-heavy industrial land use to a mixed waterfront district integrating corporate R&D, finance, culture, and public space; a 20-year transition, implemented in defined steps.
