The Kaohsiung City Guides answer the questions every visitor brings: which night market locals actually prefer, where to find a proper bowl of braised pork rice, how to reach Cijin, Tainan or Kenting without losing a morning and which small bars in Yancheng and Qianjin deserve a late night. Each guide is a short, opinionated list that tells you why to go, what to order and one practical tip for every place, and it opens in your browser as soon as you pay.

Three places from the guides
Gang Yuan Beef Noodle Restaurant
Dacheng St, Yancheng District
A beef noodle shop with decades behind it in the old port quarter, serving generous bowls in clear or red-braised broth with thick pieces of beef. From the food guide.
The British Consulate at Takow
Gushan, a short walk from Sizihwan MRT
A red-brick colonial house on a hill above the harbour mouth. The exhibition inside is modest; you climb up for the wide view over port, city and sea. From the things to do guide.
Anping Tree House
Anping, Tainan
An old trading warehouse taken over by banyan roots, crossed on a wooden walkway that loops through the ruin. The ticket also gets you into the merchant house next door. From the day trips guide.
Plan your days with the guides
Day one: catch the morning light at the Lotus Pond pagodas, eat braised pork rice for lunch, wander the Pier-2 warehouses in the afternoon and end with a night market and a cocktail in Qianjin. Day two: take the ferry to Cijin for the lighthouse and a seafood lunch, or ride the train to Tainan for Dutch forts, temples and danzai noodles. For a rainy or slow day: the science museum, the main public library and an indoor play hall, then late dim sum once the city lights up.
