I came across these photos from other Taiwanese skyscraper webiste. Hope you guys enjoy. :)

Nice photos, any photos of Chengching lake?

Nice shots, these are real good photos of kaohsiung. hope that a few super tall buildings will be built b4 2009 to creat a better skyline.

Sky Plaza.

Kaohsiung hasn't built any new skyscrapers in a while.

我愛高雄,謝謝!!

Alot of apartments though.

The buffet in the Tuntex towers - (the tallest building in the above photos) is delicious + you get a beautiful view of Kaohsiung harbour.

anyone has a picture of zhongyong jie in kaoshiung? i haven't go back there since 98..

what?! this is zhongyong jie?? :eek::eek: amazing!!!

nice pix...to me it looks better than taipei.

Kaohsiung is a much more laid-back city. I always get the feel that the traffic situation is much better, the streets are much cleaner, and the overall feel is nicer. But, nothing beats the hustle and bustle of Taipei. The South is certainly nice and it has a lot of potential, but theres just something about the North that appeals to me.

That is an impressive skyline but for me it wouldn't be if the Tuntex tower wasn't in it. Lol, it's funny how just one building can effect how great I think the skyline is by so much. I think it's because that very wide and bulging green tower would seem so out of place in that skyline and throw it right off if the Tuntex wasn't there.

^^ Thanks! Kaohsiung = 1st sister city of Busan ^^

60 years ago, Japan was going to build Takao(Kaohsiung) into the south capital of the Japanese Empire that controls the whole South East Asia. One thing that shows is that Kaohsiung has wider roads than other Taiwanese cities. However, some of them were reduced by KMT government later.

If Kaohsiung was not ignored by KMT government for so long, it might have passed Taipei as the biggest city in Taiwan long time ago.

when are they gonna finish the hyatt hotel !? the steel skeleton just destroys the skyline

Looks better than Taipei (I think I said that on the previous page too). The festival shots are great.

KaoHsiung is such a nice city.... the city itself is more systematic compared to Taipei which is more crowded and not very systematic...

But both cities have their specialties... KaoHsiung is really a great place to live in

i saw the asia plaza project in emporis, will it actually be built? it said that the construction is supposed to begin in 2004 but i don't see anything

At the same token, Taipei wouldn't be the biggest city. It all depends on where you stand...

nice photos!

However, if it wasn't for the KMT, Kaohsiung would not have been developed at all. Actually, not just Kaohsiung, but all of Taiwan. So you can't really say that.

awesome!!

i love kaohsiung!! the shopping district is breathttaking!! kaohsiung is packed then b4 although not as packed as taipei kaohsiung is wayyy bigger then seattle seattle i sliek a ghost town compared to kaohsiung

People usually like the nightlife in Asian cities better. In the USA, "nightlife" usually means nightclubs, which in general aren't particularly clean environments by social standards.

nice pix!
Kaoshsiung looks better than Taipei!

very beautiful picture and Kaoshsiung is look clean and clear than Taipei.
Is Kaoshsiung are the largest port city of Taiwan ?
and How many population of this city ?
How far between Kaoshsiung and Taipei ?
please tell me . Thank you

Kaohisung is in fact the biggest port in Taiwan and the population is around 1.5 million i think? and it's like around 4.5 hours to Taipei. Actually Kaohsiung has a bigger population density than Taipei does.

I went Kaohsiung before... I really like the city... is dense, big and clean... but of course Taipei is more happening...

高雄的日文名字發音是 "Takao"

日本人有没有把台湾其他城市名字改为日本名? 高雄原本就叫高雄吗?

應該是說國民黨沒有把日本名字改成中國名字嗎？ :)

其實我不太確定到底哪些台灣城市名字是日本人取的，哪些是原來的。

originally, ta-kao was rather from aboriginal language, if my memory is good.
