Our Kaohsiung Tour 2010 started at the main railway station and continued along the very long Zhongshan road, one of Kaohsiung's avenues. It took us nearly 2 hours (together with a breakfast break) to arrive at the famous Tuntex Sky Tower, where we decided to take a break and have some coffee and cake in a small café. It was a great walk, because we started at 6am, when the weather was very pleasant. And the walking felt great, because we were sitting on a train for 6h. The only problem was a lack of sleep, that train was slow and bumpy. I highly recommend you to pay for the much faster high-speed train, in case you want to go to Kaohsiung from Taipei (will only take around 1.5h).
Let me show you some photos from Kaohsiung in the morning:
They sell snake meat here, too. Read my snake blood in Taipei post>>
We didn't eat snake, but chose a stall that sells typical Kaohsiung breakfast.
Pork with rice, oyster soup and an omelette. Simple and yummy.
After our small breakfast pause, we continued to walk along the Zhongshan road:
A popular night market, empty during the morning.
Taiwanese and their scooters... a love story, hehe. Read more about scooters here>>
A small day market, where old people buy fruits and veggies.
But before we started taking photos of the awesome skyscraper, we went into a small café called CROWN & FANCY, where we had a drink and a snack. The place is very cool, I like the layout. At first we were the only two visitors, but then a foreigner and a local girl sat next to us and this guy was talking and talking in Mandarin endlessly, which annoyed me a little.
This cake was delicious. Thank you, baby, for making my Kaohsiung trip so sweet.
