The Love River (愛河) is a romantic destination. We stopped here on our way home after a trip to Lotus Lake. You can enjoy the city view at night while sipping a cup of coffee and listening to music. There are several coffee shops in the park, and cultural events such as concerts are often held by the river.
The Love River in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, offers picturesque water scenery with its colorful bridges. You can even take a boat ride, as the boats can accommodate about 15 people and navigate up and down the river.
In the past, the river flowed through a wide channel, surrounded by farms. During the Japanese occupation in 1895, the river was transformed into a canal for transporting lumber.
Originally known as the Takao River, the name "Love River" gained popularity after a pair of lovers tragically committed suicide. Since 1972, it has officially been called Love River.
We also visited Kaohsiung Harbor, which was built in 1908 at the mouth of the Love River. We took a ferry to the other side, which was much quicker than driving. The area is well-known for its street food, especially seafood.
Kaohsiung is a truly beautiful city and well worth a visit. Lonely Planet was right to include it as one of the top 10 travel destinations.
