Whether or not you are a lover of the arts, Pier-2 Art District in Kaohsiung is a must-visit. The whole area consisted of old warehouses converted into art galleries, art installations, boutiques, bookstores and cafes. It’s totally the kind of thing I love during travels because they are therapy to my soul. The whole area is divided into 3 areas and you can cover everything on foot. Some of the galleries are FOC, but others are by paid admission only.
This pair of fat lady & fat man appear everywhere in this district, dressed in different attires. They must be the icons of this place.
I especially was captivated by the colorful wall murals and interesting art installations everywhere. Keep your eyes open because you just might miss the really tiny ones. :)
This cheeky boy peeing made me smile when I accidentally stumbled upon him as well. The surprise is that the pee comes on periodically! LOL! You can check my instagram for the boomerang version. =P
Look out for this interesting upside down house at Pier-2!
When you come to this area with the abandoned railway tracks, that marks the end of Pier-2 Art Centre. This is a great spot to chill with your family & friends during the evening, when the sunset orange glows are in the sky. =)
