Biking

 ~ promoted by our hometown Kaohsiung ~

Here in Kaohsiung, we have a “public bicycle rental system”.  To encourage citizens to bike instead of driving or riding a motorcycle, the first thirty-minute ride is free. You can use a credit card or I-Pass card to pay for the rent, and then choose a fun and exciting route to explore.

Most popular routes start from the MRT station, which is just like the underground in the UK or the subway in the US.  One of the most popular routes starts from the Central Park Station.  It is located near the Urban Spotlight, a place where arts and fashion meet.  Rent a bike, head north, and then enjoy the city atmosphere and art among it.

Formosa Boulevard Station is right at the intersection of Jhongshan 1st Road and Jhongjheng Road, also the mix of the Red Line and the Orange Line.  Main exits of Formosa Boulevard Station are shell-shaped and designed by a famous Japanese architect, Shin Takamatsu. Inside the station is artwork named “Dome of Light”, which has been chosen as one of the most beautiful subway stations in the world. 

If you have a chance to visit Kaohsiung, touring by bike is a smart choice.
