Very hot and humid, not actually a whole whole lot to do there–certainly not in the long term-- limited good western restaurants, sprawled over a large area, pretty low walkabililty, aesthetically not the prettiest in most places, lots of speed cameras on the lights make it annoying to drive there, hard to park. Felt kind of like a generic ‘city’ setting of a GTA video game to me. It’s gone one hai hao beach that’s not that easy to get to.
Kaohshiung COUNTY has some very beautiful places. And also some very strange ones.
Some points I agree with and some I don’t. For example, I have no problem with speed cameras when we have such an ongoing problem with drunk drivers down here. And yes, our heat sucks, but a few have made the point that Taipei is actually more humid in the summer. Our heat is more of a dry heat. But the summers are pretty unbearable all over the island. The other stuff you said I can’t rebut as easily lol. Our selection of western restaurants is indeed not great, but we do have Arkansas Diner.
And here Imma Bakery Cafe Restaurant - Cuisine / Kaohsiung & Southern Taiwan Restaurants - Forumosa Which is better than any other of it’s type in Taiwan.
My favorite comfort food in the south. Have a meal there, sit back and feel happy.
One of my favorite restaurants in Taiwan very good home made well cooked comfort food meal.
