    Famous and popular place to go to eat and to hangout together with friends and family. There are couple sections to visit. Like to go during the sunset and evening. The pier the building the architect the decorative are beautiful and live band, shows, night market. Feel so chill to walk on riverside and paths. There are couple parking nearby. Hotels are around the area. Light rail available as well. Can also link to the dock with ferry to take you to the other side of pier Chijin.

    This place is good for taking pictures but it wasn’t really that much. Food and stores are also available though. Nice place with a good view.

    Unfortunately this area feels a little empty compared to years ago. Potentially due to the time of the year or not recovering from Covid. This arts area used to be busy with lots to see.. but currently just seems to be a little on the quiet side, which shops seem to open quite late or are empty. Feels a little sad. Still worth walking through if you have that expectations.

    Really interesting place to visit. Has lots of cool wall art and sculptures to see. There are small arts and craft shops and some coffee shops and bars as well. As I visited on a Tuesday afternoon a lot of the shops were closed. The place also has a lot of school visits taking place. Reachable via the tram but also walking distance from the orange mrt line station 2. If you walk along the harbour it offers great views of the cityscape.

    Art lovers and romantic couples will love this place. So beautiful, season wise, the art exhibitions change, and in the evening time you can see a lot of grand made products sold by small entrepreneurs, which is really cute and made of natural products. Recommended for people who like to take a 3 km walk. If you don't want to walk, you can use the mono rain shuttle service from one end to another end to view the excellent environment and experience beautiful scenery. This is my 5th time over there. I just go and sit for inner peace lol 😆. Happy vacation fellows Peace ✌️ ✌️ ✌️

    Great place to take a brief walk and take IG photos as there are plenty of interesting art installation. There are quite a few stores selling shoes, snacks, clothing and souvenir. Some stores offer parking validation so it's best to figure out where is best to park first.

    Interesting spot to visit when in Kaohsiung. Clean, has some interesting art installations, and at night offers beautiful city view. Has cute shops here and there as well as a cinema. Great place to walk around after a meal to help digest :) The great harbour bridge will rotate at 3 PM everyday or also at 7PM on weekends!

    It's one of the best art area in Taiwan , you must see and take a look here because it's renovated into sort of Williamsburg vibe surroundings (however more commercial) with very interesting stores and street arts! A must-come of you visit in Kaohsiung!

    The Pier 2 art center in Kaohsiung is an absolute gem! During my visit, I stumbled upon a vibrant festival that completely captivated me. I had the chance to leisurely stroll around, immersing myself in the artistic wonders that adorned the area. It's a place where time seems to slow down, allowing you to savor every moment of your journey. If you're seeking a unique and enchanting experience, Pier 2 is an absolute must-visit in Kaohsiung!"

    There's plenty to see and explore three. Including art and craft shops. I went there twice as it was interesting enough. Go to the Sunny Hills Lab for a complimentary taste of whichever snack they are promoting.

    Everywhere you look in this district there is art - most notably murals on so many surrounding buildings, even the old apartment blocks surrounding the pier. It's not crowded on my visit, mainly tourists that got dumped there by the coaches - think I'm or case it was because the hotels weren't ready for our party yet... The street art is fun to discover though.

    A nice outside place with a LOT of exhibits to visit along with numerous restraints and snack shops to visit. Do not recommend visiting on a hot summers day cuz you will absolutely get burnt out with the 40 degrees Celsius weather. There’s many places to visit within the area and many are excellent for photography. There is also a large bookstore to visit (shown below) and you will enjoy the AC in a hot summers day On a side note, there is also a small train route where both adults and children can enjoy the ride around the pier; however, the price is about 200NTD which is kinda a scam, so unless you are not visiting Taiwan often, I do not recommend taking the mini train

    The Pier 2 was a fun place to explore. There is a huge variety of artistic sculptures and paintings dotted throughout the area. Some are very large metal pieces and others are small photographs or paintings. We really enjoyed our time here. We would definitely recommend this place to others.

    Simply bursting with creative energy, this sprawling quayside area has done an amazing job of merging the industrial look-and-feel of the old buildings with a myriad of dynamic and awe-inspiring art works, from cute to serious, from minute to gigantic. Be prepared to walk long and far, but expect to be rewarded with a rich palette of experiences. Kids will find plenty of things to do as well. Never boring, always welcoming, this place puts KS firmly on the map as a must-see destination in Taiwan.

    It's a wonderful art village where you can walk around from building to building seeing different exhibits. Mostly free. Love the vibe. Been here multiple times, many exhibits change and some stay the same. Will definitely go again.

    Great cultural location with cute stores, a leisurely park, as well as plenty of port scenery. Kids will love it. Many restaurants to choose from, ice cream, cafes, an imposing movable bridge, and the tram of course for quick and easy traveling to and fro. Also check out the free pineapple cake and tea within the area, which is great for a small break. Even with one group of warehouses recently burned down, still plenty to visit and enjoy.

    Pier Art in Kaoshuing is quite relaxing and the view was so fascinating especially at night was so wonderful and full of ideas. You must go at night to see the lights are dancing and the place was so beautiful.Note to everyone do not go there on afternoon because its very hot but if you like very hot weather this place is for you.

    It's a very nice area which you can get sense of modern and historical sites. There are nice shoppings and restaurants. Easily can access with the monorail and very convenient. Highly recommend it if you are visiting Kaohsiung city.

    The old warehouse district with the contemporary modern art works well to stroke the visual sense which is the charm of this place. Plenty to see, feel and experience.

    Nice place to walk around and see some interesting pieces. When open, the shopping bar ect area could be very exciting.

    *Must visit if u are in this area* An unique open art space, providing artists / bookstore/ restaurants, awesome vibes to get away hustle KHH.

  • 5/5 Ivo N. 3 years ago on Google
    Easy to get to by subway. Lots of cool art, murals and colorful paintings. Came here on the weekend and place was fairly busy, lots of families with their kids. Still no hassle to take some photos, check out all the art pieces and stroll around a morning long. From here you can go to the pier to take the ferry to Cijin Island. Combining the two places you'll be able to pretty much fill the whole day with activities.

    We went there twice on two consecutive days! The vibe there is so cool, with awesome art pieces from murals to boards to huge pieces almost everywhere around the area. The area stretches down from the harbour bridge to Hamasen LRT station so take your time to stroll! You’ll get crazy amount of pictures since every corners are instagrammable. They also have museums, cafes, Eslite (shopping area) and night market too!

    This is my second time visiting here, but my first time was when I was little, so basically this is kinda my first. 😜 I was lucky to have a sunny day visiting here, there are many different kinds of stores in almost every warehouse, and it’s really a good place to take a walk and have some pictures here.

    Pier2 is a fun place to visit: many interesting shops and street vendors. Weekends has way more shops and street vendors open, but it also means way more crowded. Sadly during pandemic, many good and interesting shops didn’t make through it.

  • 5/5 OurSage M. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a must go-to place when in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Be it day-time or night-time, Pier 2 Art is a nice place to go. Apart from the creativity one can enjoy, it is a very instagrammable location with lots of art installations and decoration where one can spend lots of time. When you are there, do not miss the Great Harbor Bridge that actually turns 180° at 3pm everyday and in addition at 7pm on weekends. One can also be mesmerized by the night bay lights flooding the bay/harbour area. On weekends, there is also a creative stuff night market @ Yancheng Night Market.

  • 5/5 Kathryn O. 10 months ago on Google
    What a cool space this was with so many art pieces to discover! You could also take breaks inside the shops with AC or grab. A cool beverage in one of the cafes. There wasn’t many food options here just the standard cafes and western food options. But really a cool space to visit! Also very close to Glory Pier which you can check out before or after!

  • 5/5 Duane B. 3 years ago on Google
    It’s a great place with beautiful / futuristic architecture, night lights, restaurants, harbor views, and it comes with a massive wow~factor regarding the art pieces all around the place. It’s close to MRT / KRT stations, city bikes, cycling / skating track, etc.

    This old harbor warehouses converted retail and art hub should have been a top tourists and locals destination and attraction for any day of the weeks. I have visited here more than a half a dozen times before in weekends, holidays, weekdays, or daytime and evening. To my surprise, only during the weekends and holidays, there were crowds roaming around the outdoor display and businesses inside those renovated warehouse buildings. A venue like this should be a fantastic designation chosen by families or friends for gathering or business people for conversation and of course tourists for sightseeing schedule. But during the weekdays, I found myself was like the only creature wandering in the quiet lanes between some deserted old buildings or the few outdoor art pieces nearby. If this place were in a different country or a region like say, the Taipei city, I am sure that there'll be waiting lines outside those nicely decorated restaurants and bars, cash registers in retail stores will be busy ringing, and the walkways and open grounds will be crowded with people of all ages most of the time. Each time that I visited this place, I would buy food or purchase something I have no purpose for, oh well, a small contribution to the store operator for their devotion and courage to keep their business afloat as their part of supporting the whole attraction prosperous. The city government created this area as one of the city's attractions, and it spent billions of dollars to build a swing bridge across the water in recent years. But I think the city has missed the point that what long term functional attraction is lacking inside this attraction park. Nonetheless, it's a nice place to spend some hours getting away from the street traffic jam and noises at anytime.

    I come here at late night and mostly me with some locals walking or cycling. Every arts look so wonderful in light and dark. But all the stores closed. If you want to experience peacefully like me, go here after 10pm. You can combine this with Glory Pier or a local night market near here.

    What used to be warehouses on the pier is converted into a park and hipster place. It was on the Lunar new year holiday when we visited so it was really crowded. There are art installations, lots of street food, stalls selling artsy stuff. With ample time, people can spend more than 2 hours in this place.

    Very nice to walk around and visit the exhibitions outside and inside the complex! A must see in Kaohsiung!👍

  • 5/5 Jeanica Ann Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Super nice place to go to. Everything just seems so aesthetic and there's a lot of things you can do and take pictures of. The Great Harbor bridge is just across and there are more activities you can do there too!

    A very nice place to spend a day. We loved the artwork, shops, and overall atmosphere. It is educational and fun and we'll definitely go again. Even the kids liked it!

    as the local weather, evening will be the better ideal to visit 😀, will see sunsets with great restaurants and drink shops to enjoy the dinner
