  As 2024 draws to a close, leave your worries behind and welcome the new year with stunning coastal views at Hongmaogang(紅毛港), Cijin(旗津), or Mituo(彌陀). These remarkable destinations offer the perfect start to a new year, with a blend of tranquility and natural beauty set against stunning coastal landscapes.
 
Hongmaogang Cultural Park(紅毛港文化園區)
  This park beautifully blends history with modernity, inviting visitors to explore the once-thriving Hongmaogang settlement. Although the village has been relocated, its historical significance remains intact. Experience the past through its landscapes while strolling along the Skywalk, which has been repurposed from a coal conveyor belt that once belonged to a former power plant. For an unforgettable experience, don't miss the chance to dine at the 360-degree rotating restaurant, where you can enjoy breathtaking views of ships gracefully entering the harbor.

Cijin Love Gate(旗津鍾愛之門)
  Located in Cijin Seaside Park(旗津海岸公園), which stretches approximately 3km, Cijin Love Gate is a favorite spot for sunset viewing in Kaohsiung. The park has a charming international vibe, making visitors feel part of a global community. Nearby attractions include the Star Tunnel(星空隧道), recognized for its illuminated animations; the Rainbow Arch (彩虹教堂); and the Kaohsiung Lighthouse, which is the first lighthouse in Taiwan that is open for night visits. Start your romantic sunset journey here!

Mituo's Seaside Light Corridor(彌陀漁港海岸光廊)
   Mituo Fishing Harbor, once recognized as the most picturesque fishing port, features an S-shaped wooden walkway extending over the water, vividly painted sea walls, and lovely viewing platforms ideal for photography enthusiasts. Take a stroll down its sandy beach. There is also a playground for the kids. In the late afternoon, people gather to watch the sunset, which lights up the horizon and creates a feeling of excitement and anticipation.

ALIEN Art Centre Exemplifies Green Low-Carbon Aesthetics

 Located near the Port of Kaohsiung, at the foot of Mount Shou, the ALIEN Art Centre(金馬賓館當代美術館)was once a temporary stop for soldiers before deployment to Taiwan's outlying islands. Transformed into an art hub, it has re-entered the daily lives of the city's residents.

 The ALIEN Art Centre is a symbol of postwar architecture in Taiwan. Its renovation was guided by the principle of "restoring the building's historical significance." Master craftsmen were hired to use traditional construction techniques, restoring the textures of the terrazzo and pebble wash surfaces. Special efforts were also made to source discontinued white ceramic tiles to recreate the original appearance of the building's corridors.

 After its renovation, its concrete gray textures blend seamlessly with the surrounding forest landscape. Large floor-to-ceiling windows in the exhibition spaces invite natural light, allowing visitors to experience the changing play of light throughout the day. The architecture exudes a quiet elegance, while the exhibitions are interdisciplinary and diverse. History, art, and the natural environment blend seamlessly with one another, creating a serene utopia.

 Responding to the global trend to reduce carbon emissions, the art center uses green or recycled building materials. The ALIEN All-Day Lounge on the second floor features locally sourced ingredients to reduce food miles, utilizes recycled construction materials to create plates, and practices green procurement, earning it certification as an eco-friendly restaurant. Until the end of this year, visitors can enjoy a discounted exhibition ticket price of NT$50 by taking Kaohsiung's Circular Light Rail to Shoushan Park Station and checking in on Facebook or Instagram at the ticket booth. We invite you to experience a low-carbon cultural journey.
