Kaohsiung is the second largest city in Taiwan Province. It is located in the southwest corner of southern Taiwan. It is an emerging and modern city. Some people describe this as if Taipei is compared to an elegant gentleman, then Kaohsiung is a lady with a very demeanor. After settling down, we seized the time to take the bus to explore the cityscape of Kaohsiung.

At first sight, this city has a unique charm and youthful vitality. Its air is moist and full of light. The tropical monsoon blows, and walking on the street gives people a fresh and comfortable feeling; the whole city is covered with trees and the fragrance of flowers is lingering, and a quiet river of love flows through the city. The slightly wider place on the street is like a street garden, and there are seats for pedestrians to rest, giving more peace in the noise; and the night view by the river is particularly charming, with the rippling river water and the lights on the banks are colorful, reflecting each other, making people intoxicated. In addition, if you look at the urban buildings in Kaohsiung, some areas are full of tall buildings, while some streets are unique old buildings with different styles, which allows us to feel the modern side of Kaohsiung and the essence of Kaohsiung's traditional history.

We sincerely exclaimed, "Wow, it's so big and so wide, it's really a unique place." The magnificent space makes us feel like we are entering a colorful world. The huge and most representative kaleidoscope-like "Doom of Light" hall was designed by the Italian artist Narcissus. This huge glass-painted sky curtain consists of 4,500 pieces of glass, divided into four areas: water, earth, light and fire. The bright and vivid colors and vast and profound pictures are not only pleasing to the eyes, but also infectious. It will combine gorgeous lights and melodious piano sounds to bring more beautiful enjoyment to passengers and tourists. We looked up, marveled, lingered, and refused to leave for a long time.
