Asia's first parallel rotating bridge is in Kaohsiung!

Have you ever been to the Dagang Bridge, located next to the Kaohsiung Light Rail Pier 2 Dayi Station (C12)? In the past few years, Kaohsiung has undergone seven phases of urban development. In addition to the existing Kaohsiung 85 Sky Tower, the Kaohsiung National Library, Kaohsiung Exhibition Hall, and many fun amusement parks and department stores have opened one after another. But if you don't want to squeeze in with the crowds or just want to experience the beauty of the harbor, then you must go to the Dagang Bridge. If you take the MRT, you can walk to Yanchengpu Station, or take the MRT to Kaixuan Station and then transfer to Dayi Station. After getting off the train, walk for 2 minutes and you will see the landmark. If you come by car, you may have to look for parking spaces as they are limited. The parking lot next to the bridge is cheaper than the nearby KW2 parking lot. I’ll tell you a secret: there are also free parking spaces in the park near the light rail station, so you can make use of them! 🤣 The Dagang Bridge began to be used on July 6, 2020. The bridge rotates at 3 pm every day. The main purpose is to facilitate the passage of ships, but I think it is also a highlight for sightseeing, because what we often see abroad is that the bridge is usually split in half to allow ships to pass smoothly. Before the rotation, the staff will ask tourists on the bridge to get off to avoid the danger of being thrown out during the rotation. I heard that there will be an additional show at 7pm on weekends. If you miss the 3pm show, you can still enjoy the beautiful lights and the rotating bridge ceremony at night❤️ But as the old saying goes, Kaohsiung is located in the south and the weather is also very warm. Bringing an umbrella can not only block the sun, but also the rain if you encounter occasional showers. Don't forget to wear sunscreen and drink water! Take the Kaohsiung MRT light rail to save energy and reduce carbon emissions while traveling easily across the Kaohsiung Dagang Bridge! Have a good time everyone🤗 #大港桥 #Kaohsiung #Pier2

The Salt Lake District of Kaohsiung has always been a popular area for young Taiwanese self-guided tours, blending creative arts, multiculturalism and a comfortable and leisure atmosphere. Whether it’s taking pictures, watching the night view or all-you-can-eat food, Kaohsiung can satisfy all your holiday expectations. The following route connects several special attractions at once, which is best for those who want to spend a slow day. 🗓️ Itinerary: It is recommended to start in the afternoon, start from the Bok Er Art Zone, explore the Tai Yi Warehouse, Hama Star in sequence, and finally walk to the Grand Harbor Bridge to enjoy the night view, then find a restaurant or specialty cafe to finish. 💡Recommended Route: Stop 1: Bok-2 Arts Zone (1 Tai Yong Road, Salt Lake District, Kaohsiung City) Opening hours: Monday-Thursday 10:00-18:00, Friday-Sunday 10:00-20:00 This is the most representative cultural and creative district in Kaohsiung, and the warehouse converted space often has a variety of exhibitions, street art, installation art, and multicultural features. There are markets and cultural performances on the weekends. Perfect for checking in, shopping, and finding handmade products. Stop 2: Dayi Warehouse (Warehouse C8-1, 2-2 Taiyi Street, Salt Lake District) Business Hours: Tuesday - Sunday 13:00 - 19:00 The Tai Yi Warehouse is next to Tuk 2 and belongs to the extension space of the Arts Zone. The warehouse also has art exhibitions, while gathering independent small shops, design brands and cafes. It's perfect for walking slowly, taking photos, and discovering hipster gadgets. The crowd is less on weekdays, so you can enjoy it leisurely. Stop 3: Hama Star (No. 32, Gushan 1st Road, Gushan District) Opening hours: All day year-round The old port area with a strong historical atmosphere has preserved many Japanese-era buildings. It is very touching to take photos of hipster style while enjoying the nostalgic railway and old-style street scenes. There are also several popular coffee shops and dessert shops nearby, making it the best choice for afternoon tea. Stop 4: Dagang Bridge (Salt Lake District) Opening hours: All day year-round A must-see night view landmark in Kaohsiung! The Grand Harbor Bridge spans Love River Bay. The bridge body is lit up at night, which is very atmospheric. It is recommended to visit at dusk to take pictures of the sunset, night view, and Kaohsiung skyscraper background. There are restaurants and open-air bars near the bridgehead, so you can enjoy the nightlife of Kaohsiung. 🎯 Must-play items & photo spots: 1. Graffiti on the exterior of the warehouse of Bok 2 Arts Special Zone, characteristic installations to take pictures super feel 2. Grand Harbor Bridge night view + Love River Bay skyscraper night lights 3. Hama Star old railway + Japanese architecture, nostalgic hipster photos get 4. There is a niche design shop in the Dayi warehouse 5. Surrounding high-quality cafes, dessert shops, restaurants, dinner or afternoon tea are great! 📝Practical Tips: 1. Recommended weekday afternoons or Friday evenings to avoid weekend crowds. 2. The Bok-2 Arts Zone and Dayi Warehouse can be slowly visited by foot, with short walking distances between attractions for easy movement. 3. Some art exhibitions require ticket purchase Pay attention to on-site information 4. Remember to bring your own stable tripod when shooting night scenes, the phone camera set night scene mode will be more beautiful 5. Warm reminder: Kaohsiung afternoon sun is very strong, remember to shade and replenish water The cultural and creative atmosphere and nightlife of Kaohsiung's Salt Lake District are definitely worth a try, whether you want to take pictures, chill for dessert, or have a drink with friends at night! #Kaohsiung Salt Lake District #Youth Culture and Creativity #Nightlife Recommendation #High Value Food #Taiwan Local Tour #Dagang Bridge #Bok Er Art Zone
