Highlights

Fo Guang Shan Buddha Museum

With a huge 108-meter golden statue of Buddha Amitaabha, Fo Guang Shan Buddha Museum is the most prominent landmark in Kaohsiung. Apart from taking pictures with the Buddha, one can also circumambulate around the stupas. It is also the best place to know more about the core value of Buddhism. According to Master Hsing Yun, the Buddha Museum serves to acquaint the public with the Buddha’s quantities, through which the Buddhist practice can be inspired.

Dragon and Tiger Pagoda with Lotus Lake

Both dragon and tiger are ones of the twelve Chinese zodiac signs. Some Chinese people believe that those who are born in the Year of the Dragon are more blessed than others. Tigers symbolize prowess, righteousness, and harmony in Chinese culture. Chinese people believe tiger is the king of all animals. The dragon’s throat is the entrance and the lion’s mouth is the exit. Entering a dragon’s throat and coming out a lion’s mouth symbolizes turning bad luck to good fortune.

Qijin Island – Low Price Fresh Seafood!

Qijin Island is a small island just a 5 minute ferry journey from Kaohsiung Harbour. It’s a very exciting place to visit with lots to do and see. Cijin Island is reputed to be the best place to eat fresh seafood in Kaohsiung. As well as the attractions and food, the island offers a nice clean beach where the sea is lovely and warm for swimming. There is an excitement about Cijin Kaohsiung that makes it a tourist attraction worth repeating.

The Creative Zone in Kaohsiung – The Pier-2 Art Center

It was once an abandoned and forgotten warehouse buried in the history. However, the Pier-2 area was released and re-born, making the region a place where tourists and the locals can come to enjoy contemporary art. Sometimes there will be flea market on the weekends and attract many young designers to gather here.

This is the first time I've booked the tour with Topology, the experience with them was fantastic! Penny who has communicated with me from beginning to the end, she is very responsive with all the questions I had or requested, and well informed about tour guide's info and pickup time. Fun time seems to pass by quickly, Spencer surely made our trip so memorable, we will always remember him and hopefully one day we will meet up again. =)

We were a family of 13 that did 2 private day tours and airport transfers with Topology. Peter was excellent with all communications from the beginning. Airy was a wonderful bilingual guide thar really made us feel at home. The kids in our group also warmed up to her quickly. The included lunches were sumptuous and extensive. They are a little pricey but well worth every penny.

We had an amazing time in Taiwan! Allen from Topology was responsive throughout the planning stages. We have a child with many food allergies and requested an English-speaking guide to accompany us for the entire trip. We could not have been happier with Spencer! We spent 7 days with him touring Taipei, Jiufen, Yehliu National Park, Kaoshiung, and Kenting National Park. He kept that pace quick for the kids and most of our free time was spent exploring different markets sampling street food. Spencer kept my son safe during the entire trip, and by the end he was like a part of the family.

8 day private tour of Taiwan
閱讀更多
Our 8 day private tour of Taiwan included Taipei, Jiufen, Shifen, Taroko, Sun Moon, & Taichung. Both our consultant, Vivi, & our driver, Henry, were excellent. We felt well taken care of from beginning to end. Henry was especially accommodating to our changing needs and requests. He was punctual, patient and attentive to our interests, even suggesting extra stops that may appeal to us & taking pictures for us. Despite some minor stomach issues at the first half of the trip (we were not able to eat some of the planned dinners), we still got to see many scenes & sites that surprised us: Taroko gorge was stunning; releasing sky lanterns was fun; the local wet market was lively; the oyster/clam digging area looked like a wet sand desert complete with a windy sand storm. Over all, everything went smoothly, and our group of 4 adults + 1 child, enjoyed our trip immensely. Thank you
