The combination of humanities and art in Kaohsiung - Pier-2 Art Center
#MarchGoodPlaces2025
Kaohsiung Pier-2 is a place full of artistic atmosphere and cultural and creative vitality, combining history, creativity and modern design, making people linger. This visit to Pier-2 made me deeply feel Kaohsiung’s efforts in cultural transformation. From the former port warehouse to today’s art base, it has become one of the favorite attractions for young people and tourists.
Walking in the Pier-2 Park, you can see large-scale installation art everywhere. Each work is full of creativity and ingenuity, such as steel puppets, geometric animal sculptures, etc., which make people want to stop and take pictures. The exhibition hall, which was converted from a warehouse, often hosts various contemporary art exhibitions, photography exhibitions or cultural and creative markets, and you can discover different new highlights every time you come.
In addition, the Pier-2 Art Center is also home to many specialty shops and cafes, which offer surprising products, whether they are cultural and creative products, handmade crafts, or unique desserts. It is really pleasant to sit in a cafe converted from a warehouse, watch tourists leisurely riding YouBikes around, and feel the unique slow pace of Kaohsiung.
What impressed me most was the night at Pier 2. At dusk, the setting sun shines on the harbor. After nightfall, the lights illuminate the entire park, and the atmosphere becomes romantic and dreamy. With street performers performing music from time to time, this place is full of vitality and has a literary and artistic atmosphere.
Overall, the Pier-2 Art Center is a place worth visiting during the day or at night, especially for travelers who like art, culture, and cultural and creative atmosphere. Next time I come to Kaohsiung, I will definitely visit again to see what new surprises this creative world has brought!
