● About Kaohsiung

Kaohsiung is the second largest city of Taiwan, located in the south. There is an international airport in Kaohsiung. One can buy ticket with Kaohsiung as the destination city. The connection is just as convenient as Taipei, but Kaohsiung is less known, and sometimes travel agents do not know that. A subway system is expected to be completed in August (a main route is already in operation). The subway connects the airport and the campus of National Sun Yat-sen University. In the winter time, the weather here is pleasant. It is usually sunny, with temperature around 20℃ (although sometimes it can be below 10℃).
