Browsing: things to do in Kaohsiung

The Kaohsiung City Tourism Bureau (高雄市政府觀光局) announced an expansion of its “Spring Picnic” (春日野餐趣) event at the Kaohsiung Green Park (果嶺自然公園) to coincide with the upcoming Labor Day long weekend from May 1 to May 3.

An international jazz lineup led by a three-time Grammy winner is set to perform at Banana in Kaohsiung on May 3, offering audiences a close-up live music experience in an intimate venue.

In happier news, a post from Taiwan Travel Tips (TTT) noted that the fading rainbow colors at a crosswalk in the Pier 2 Art Center area have been restored to their original vibrancy.

This year’s theme, “Holding the land, returning to our roots,” reflects the community’s efforts to rebuild after the 2009 disaster while reconnecting with Taivoan traditions. Organizers say the event will include reenactments of traditional rituals, an environmental theater performance based on residents’ own life stories, concerts, and a local market.

Kaohsiung City Councilor Huang Wen-yi (黃文益) says the district’s street character makes it suitable for outdoor seating and night-time activity. He suggested allowing shops to place tables and chairs on sidewalks, provided pedestrian access and public safety are not affected.

Transportation Bureau Director Chang Shu-chuan (張淑娟) said the trial is aimed in part at helping owners of medium and large dogs, who have had fewer options for taking their pets on public transportation because of size restrictions.

The city’s Tourism Bureau announced today that the Kaohsiung Green Park (果嶺自然公園) — a massive 70-hectare transformation of a former golf course — will host a sprawling “Spring Picnic Fun” festival over two consecutive weekends starting April 25.

Under the program, groups of at least 15 people can apply for the subsidy if they visit designated attractions in Cieding (茄萣), Yongan (永安), Mituo (彌陀), Ziguan (梓官), and Linyuan (林園), and include a local meal as part of the itinerary.

In addition to standard indoor fitness and recreation facilities, the project has drawn attention for including what officials say will be the city’s only rooftop croquet court.
