    Thank you for visiting my hometown! This makes me very very homesick haha...there used to be domestic flights between Taipei and Kaohsiung, but apparently after the bullet train was built it's far more economical and just as fast, so naturally those airlines shifted their business focus to international routes.
    Also, Taiwan used to be known for its world-class baseball teams that won championships in numerous international games. In fact, because they did such a good job at preventing and managing Covid entrance, they were pretty much the only place that still plays baseball games when all other countries were on lockdown.
    I'm glad you both look like you enjoyed Kaohsiung! ❤

    Kaohsiung is a beautiful harbor city. The recommended bike routes are along the Love river, and along the bayside with several piers. Within the bay area, you could visit some renovated warehouses like pier-2 art center and KW2(Kaohsiung warehouse 2) which are connected by Big Harbor Bridge. You could also take 5-mintue Ferry to Cijin island. On this island, you could go uphill to the lighthouse and overlook the whole Kaohsiung harbor in a spectacular way. You would enjoy watching ships passing by for a long time...
    Besides, you could also find nice beaches and delicious street food as well as various seafood. For transportation, you could take MRT or light rail especially. This light rail will take you travel through the bay area including above mentioned sightseeing spots, and also the city forests.
    Hope you enjoy stay in Taiwan.

    There used to planes...I use to travel by plane constantly for business from Taipei down to the south 20+ years ago. but after the high-speed rail was introduced ( 2007), domestic air travelers switched to HSR causing traveling by plane less viable. Anyway, You may want to go further down to Kenting National Park. Ali Mountain National Park in Cha-Yi also offers an amazing traveling experience as there are plenty of trees ranging from 1,000~3,000 years old.

    I live in Houston (but am contemplating a move to Taiwan when I retire) and there is a push for a bullet train between Houston and Dallas. They've been talking about it for a few years, but haven't seen any real movement yet.

    There used to be domestic plane from Taipei to Kaohsiung but bc the HSR is so much more convenient, I guess no one really takes it anymore so they stopped the flights. Back in the days, we would take plane from US to Taipei and then the domestic plane down to Kaohsiung.

    We do have domestic flights between Taipei and Kaohsiung, but they seems quite expensive when the travel time is the same with HSR.

    Hi there started to watch your videos whilst you in Taiwan and if you are still in Kaohsiung today and for a few days then you can go and watch Amei in concert. Amei is the most famous singer in Taiwan kind of canto pop crossed with metal. Look for Asmeir 😊

    The tropic of cancer passes through Chiayi in Taiwan. Kaohsiung is south of that , so the weather is more tropical there than in Taipei. You probably felt it was hotter there when you stepped out of the train. The warrior statue is called Xuantian Shangdi, a Taoist god ruling the north/water. While you are there, you can also take the train to Tainan, the neighboring city in the north with many historical sites. You can also travel south to Kending to enjoy the beautiful beach. The fee for ubike is 5 NTD per half an hour in Taipei. Make sure you return it when you are done or you might end up paying a lot more. Enjoy your trip down south :-)

    Judging from the views from the rooftop of that apartment building, your airbnb must be located in Yancheng District of Kaohsiung, my birth place. That river is called Love River, and Taiwanese are passionate about baseball, I have been to that baseball stadium many times when I was a kid.
    That “general” in Lotus Pond has many names but Xuanwu is probably the most well-known one. He is one of the most important Taoist deities who is in charge of the northern skies, so to simplify you can remember him as the god of the North Star. He is associated with snake and tortoise, one (collectively)of the four sacred animals in Taoism, so it’s easy to identify if any temple is dedicated to him or not.

    In fact the HSR makes the TP-KH flight obsolete - there were such flights before, but the HSR is much cheaper and has more trains than flights everyday. So naturally the airlines no longer fly this route due to competition.

    I believe Taiwan is the only country outside of Japan to have the Japanese-style shinkansen made by Mitsubishi. I think other countries have different types of bullet trains (don't quote me on it)

      India. Japan beat China to the contract by los balling the price. They had no idea how local politics work. in great trouble now, built 10 km in 5 years. meanwhile, China had finished a 130 km HSR in Indonesia for the same duration!

    Planes from Taipei(TaoYuan or SungShan) to Kaohsiung has had troubles cause those planes are really old, and the lines are not as valuable as international ones to airlines so they don’t usually upgrade their planes.
    You can google FuSing(FuXing) Airpline and you’ll find out how ridiculous those accidents were.
    One of the accident were the plane with issues prior having engine failure. And the pilot shut down the wrong engine without having cross checking with the copilot.
