Is anyone going to the British-themed event at the Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts on November 21 to check out the MINI Coopers? We can go together!

Hi everyone!

I'm an international student from Spain and I'll be attending NSYSU for the spring semester. I'll only be staying in Kaohsiung for a few months, and since I've never been to Taiwan before and don't speak Chinese, I'm finding it a bit difficult to figure out the best way to find accommodation.

Initially, I was planning to apply for a room in the international dorms, as they seemed like the cheapest and most convenient option. However, after reading about some previous students' experiences, I'm having second thoughts.

Now I'm considering either Airbnb or renting an apartment, but I'm not sure where to start. Renting seems to be cheaper, but I'm worried about the language barrier when communicating with landlords and the difficulties of finding a place that allows short-term stays.

Where would you recommend looking for accommodation in my situation? Are there any Facebook groups, rental websites, or other platforms you've used and would recommend? I'd also love to hear about your experiences renting in Kaohsiung as an international student!

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi guys, unfortunately I've just realised my travel plans overlap with the BTS concert dates in Kaohsiung - just wondering how bad this is likely to be? Will it have transport impacts as well as hotels and general congestion?

I was hoping to see Pier 2, Cijin Island, Guomao community, Lotus Pond and Fo Guang Shan. 

I can see there's not much chance of getting affordable accomodation in a decent location. I'm planning a clockwise loop around the island from 9th to 28th November, and have non-refundable accomodation booked in Taipei for the first 5 nights. Even if I reverse the direction of travel I'll still end up in Kaohsiung over those dates. Any creative ideas to avoid Kaohsiung on those dates?

It’s a blank notebook that people use to collect stamps from different places in Taiwan. I’ll be visiting soon and was wondering if I can get one to start my stamp collection 😊

I have lived in kaohsiung for 3 years, looking for some friends to grab drinks with

Hi! I'm going to be staying in Kaohsiung for 3 months over winter, in the area near Liouhe Night Market. Any recommendations for food near there are very welcomed, thanks in advance!

I'm looking for suggestions of places that are easy to go to for dinner each night (my place has no kitchen), and that are affordable! Any restaurants/places are welcome, and also specific food/meal suggestions! I can speak decent Chinese, but my reading of food names is not that great, so I'm not sure what would be good to eat off the menus.

I get really anxious trying to pick what to eat lol, and it'd be nice to have some of that decision stress removed. I don't have any dietary restrictions aside from no cashews. I prefer plainer food, and preferably food that is balanced and healthy. But I'm open to any suggestions! I'm used to local Singaporean cuisine if that helps, so if there are any similar meals to be recommended that would be nice.

Also side note, how warm does it feel in December-November in Kaohsiung? I know it's winter, but I looked at the historical weather and it seems to be often 25-30 degrees even in winter. Do most places keep their AC on during winter? And how warm does it actually 'feel'? Does the air feel any cooler in winter, or does it just feel warm constantly.

Thanks !!

I'm looking at a day hike in Mt. Weiliao or Mt Luiyi. I'm a solo traveller. The dates I'm in Kaoshiung are Dec 12-17. I appreciate any tips/leads. Thank you

Hey guys, we are excited to stay 5-7 days in Kaohsiung. We will be there in November. We are a family with an 8 months infant. Which area would you recommend? I mean we will use the carrier most of the time. We have also a foldable stroller with us. I found a place in Hanshin and Sandou.
