2025 Zuoying District Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

I took the Shinkansen to travel from Taipei to Kaohsiung. If you buy a Shinkansen voucher on Trip.com, foreigners (non-Taiwanese) can purchase tickets at a 20% discount. If you show the voucher purchase screen at the Shinkansen counter in Taipei, they will issue you a ticket. You can purchase it for just under 6,000 yen one way 🙆♀️ On the way back, I bought an ekiben at Kaohsiung station. There are several Taiwan Railway Bento shops. The popular shops were sold out by around noon and closed down. The one I bought was a mixed rice bento with pork on the bone and dried shrimp from a shop that sells them both inside and outside the ticket gate. It was topped with takana, mysterious fries, and seasoned cabbage. It was quite a lot for about 500 yen, the equivalent of NHK's $100! And it was delicious! When riding the Shinkansen in Taiwan, an ekiben is a must ✌️ #TaiwanTrip

This afternoon tea shop behind Hanshin Arena is very eye-catching, with its cute signature cats and fashionable decorations. Any photo you take will turn out to be a hit on the internet. The store is very comfortable and the staff are very friendly. It is semi-self-service and uses an online ordering system so there is no need to stand in line. The store also sells some pet snacks, so your furry friends can enjoy the delicious food together (and the shapes are very cute). The seats here are spacious and the staff will not disturb you normally. It is very suitable for reading and chatting here, and the lazy music can also make people relax. As for the food, since I received a cheese sweet potato pancake as a gift last time I donated blood, I packed one to take back. The food here is amazing. It is obviously cheese, but it is not greasy at all. I looked at other people’s meals and they are all relatively refreshing, with a comfortable light meal flavor. Next time I can come and have lunch and enjoy the delicious food. The cats are so cute! ! The price is very cheap compared to the area near department stores. You can enjoy a beautiful afternoon tea for just a penny. It is a treasure shop in the city center! Address: No. 21, Xinsheng Street, Zuoying District, Kaohsiung City Opening hours: 8:00-20:00 Price: 49-249 yuan #LocalTourism #Family Friendly Places #Food

Located at Zuoying High Speed ​​Rail Station, this is the most difficult station in Kaohsiung. It is very convenient here. Whether it is a general railway MRT or a bus, it is very convenient. There are also many souvenirs here. It is also in the city center. It is convenient. I recommend everyone to come here if you have the chance. Take the high-speed rail to experience it.

Address: No. 428, Yucheng Rd, Zuoying District, Kaohsiung City, 813 Atmosphere/Facilities: The restaurant is clean and bright, and the seating area is not too wide, which is great!  Features: Coffee ☕️ is the specialty of this restaurant! In addition, Taiwanese macarons are also the main product of this restaurant. However, every time I go there, I always have a light salad 🥗 + matcha latte. Whether it's a light salad or a matcha latte, the portion is a bit small, but it's the best restaurant in the city to have a seat and rest and eat. ❤️ Price per person: 180-350 Rating: 9 #cafes #Light Meals #Matcha

When the weather is cold, you need to eat hotpot... In hot Kaohsiung, there is a time-honored hotpot restaurant called "Liu's Pickled Cabbage and White Pork Hotpot". Handmade delicacies, Liu family’s dedication. It was originally run by old sergeant Uncle Liu, and later passed to the current boss Wang. "Liu Gui Wang Sui", in addition to dumplings, Boss Wang also continuously developed handmade rolls, scallion pancakes, and knife-cut noodles, paired with his exclusive sauerkraut and pork hotpot, which later gradually became a delicacy of Zuoying military village. Must-try classics: sauerkraut and pork hotpot + handmade shrimp and pork soup dumplings + handmade wraps. This time I went to the original store to enjoy it... It felt like being in a military camp restaurant 😁 #Special food #Hotpot recommendation #Sauerkraut and pork hotpot #Kaohsiung hotpot #Village white jade sauerkraut hotpot

Every time I come to Kaohsiung for a meeting and take the high-speed rail back to Taipei, I come to this restaurant when it's time to eat. It's just opposite the station, very close. The turkey rice is delicious, and the side dishes are very affordable. I accidentally took a lot😆 #美食 #foodie

#2月好去处2025 Address: No. 315, Boai 3rd Road, Zuoying District, Kaohsiung City, Taiwan 813 Atmosphere/Facilities: No parking lot, toilet, self-service condiments, spacious environment Features: Self-service food tray, a la carte meat, free winter melon tea, credit card accepted Price per person: NT$650 Rating: I just wanted to have a midnight snack after watching the concert, so I found a hot pot restaurant closest to the high-speed rail. Open until 12:30. The store is very spacious, but there are only a few tables because it is past 10 o'clock. But halfway through our meal it was almost full. It should be the benefit of the concert. The soup base is a little different from the usual Shantou hotpot soup. The taste of shacha and flat fish is very light, and you can taste a little bit of bonito flakes in the soup base. It has a refreshing taste. There is shacha sauce in the seasoning area and you can adjust the taste yourself. The price of 150 for the pot base is quite good. Hand-cut Marinated Beef (Small) (145g) 390 Yuan The fat is evenly distributed and the meat is fresh. Just blanch it for a few seconds and you can eat it. The taste is good and the meat is tender. The prices are reasonable for dining in. Hand-cut beef fillet (165g) 370 yuan The price of the meat is not expensive, and the beef fillet tastes very thick. It needs to be cooked a little longer. The meat is fresh but unfortunately, maybe due to storage problems, this plate of beef fillet absorbed some blood. At the end of the meal, there was a bit of bloody smell that affected the overall taste. At first I thought it was not cooked thoroughly, but even if the beef is not fully cooked, it will not have this taste. The meat that was cooked for 15 minutes later still had a bloody smell, but the meat tasted fresh. Only then did I think that it was caused by the absorption of blood. The unit price of vegetable plates and processed meats is much lower than the cost-effectiveness of meats. A plate of chrysanthemum and cabbage costs 80 yuan, fish dumplings costs 120 yuan, and three-meat dumplings costs 160 yuan. The business sells the whole box at a higher price. Take San Kee fish dumplings and shrimp dumplings as an example. The price of each box for home delivery is about NT$70-80, depending on the channel. The dishes are cleaned and packaged very cleanly, without any defective leaves. The portion size is a bit small. Overall, the taste is OK, which is OK for a late-night snack. Later, when the restaurant was almost full, the replenishment of the self-service condiment area and winter melon tea was obviously slow. I don't know if it was because they were about to close or because there weren't usually so many tables coming at once.

From Taitung to Kaohsiung to eat chocolate flavor Too bad, there are less than ten stores in Taiwan. I'm very happy to eat the new shuriken shape for the first time🥺 #Family Ice Cream #ChocolateIceCream FamilyMart Kaohsiung Fuyu Store

Putian Restaurant, which has been awarded one Michelin star for four consecutive years, has branches all over the world. It has been recommended by many gourmets and celebrities at home and abroad. It claims to use the freshest, healthy and natural ingredients to present the flavor of Putian cuisine. Many dishes on the menu are Fujian cuisine. The taste combines Fujian and Chinese cuisine. It makes you feel like dining in Putian. I also took a trip to Fujian. The Putian Restaurant in Taiwan was introduced by the Wangpin Group. The tableside service and meal quality are both at a certain level. The restaurant design is rich in Nanyang style, and the environment is clean, tidy and comfortable. The dishes are rich and the choices are diverse. Whether it is a dinner with friends or even a family gathering It’s very suitable here🥰 📍Address: No. 98, Ziyi 3rd Road, Zuoying District, Kaohsiung City 813

The temple is beautifully decorated, looks sacred and beautiful. It is another popular temple in Kaohsiung, Zuoying District, to worship and pray for blessings.

💞Reason for recommendation: My birthday is in November, so I went to this vegetarian restaurant in Zuoying, Kaohsiung to celebrate with my high school classmates🥳. All the dishes were beautifully presented👍, and the dishes looked exactly the same as the meat dishes😃. The environment and dishes were great for taking photos. Most of the dishes were large enough, and I, who don’t like vegetarian food, didn’t mind it either. The birthday boy was given free ice cream😻 and a piece of cake🎂. The service staff was cordial and friendly, and I had a wonderful day. This experience also added to my memory dividends💯, and I can always savor this beauty in the future. ✈️Time flies, and leaving behind many good memories is a must🎉. Personal preferences may be different, but it was a good experience for me❤️, so I recommend it to everyone! ✨ #vegetarian diet #Children are vegetarians Restaurant name: Vegetarian for Kids 📍Address: No. 161, Zhisheng Road, Zuoying District, Kaohsiung City, Taiwan 81357 🗓️Itinerary: Take the MRT to Aozaididi Station and walk for 5 minutes to arrive 🕰️Business hours: 11am~3pm; 5pm~9pm 💰Average consumption per person: around NT$400

When I came to Kaohsiung to search for roast duck, I accidentally made a reservation at Wangpin Group's restaurant, Xiangya, located on the 2nd floor of No. 448, Yucheng Road, Zuoying District, Kaohsiung City. It was my first time to dine here. The open space was a bit like a banquet, but it would be a bit noisy when it was full. Wangpin was dedicated to its service. The roast duck set for two people came with half a roast duck. The waiter would introduce the duck to be served and present a duck slice show at the table. Considering its price, the performance was quite satisfactory and there was nothing amazing about it. It was not bad, but also not so delicious that you had to eat it. White sugar crispy breast, half a duck is 4 slices, the crispy skin is matched with white sugar, the whole plate of half a duck is served with scallion, cucumber, lotus leaf cake and three kinds of ingredients, classic sweet noodle sauce, chili salt and pineapple sauce, you can mix and match it yourself with multiple choices, friends who like clean environment and good service attitude can choose to try it. #duck #kaohsiung #zuoying #roast duck #sliced ​​duck

This is a housing complex for the Navy built in the 1970s, with fan-shaped buildings forming a circle around the park in the center. If you sit on a bench in the park in the center and look up at the sky, you will see a perfectly round building, as in the first image. It's not a photogenic spot, but I'm not sure why it makes me excited just looking at it. There were some residents out walking around, so I took a picture without getting in their way. Even in my photos, the perfectly round building is often seen. I visited early in the morning, and there was a morning market nearby, with all kinds of things being sold. #0yentravel #Taiwantrip #Kaohsiung #GuomaoCommunity #Travelwithme

#Kaohsiung Attractions Came to Cafe Lae alone for a short rest. As soon as you enter the door, the spacious and simple furnishings exude a comfortable atmosphere. The attentive waiter brought latte and sandwiches. While enjoying the delicious food, you can also gaze at the beautiful watercolor paintings on the wall. With the sound of jazz music, my mood gradually became peaceful. After paying the bill, I left feeling light-hearted. I firmly believe that if I revisit the place, I will be able to feel the implicit beauty in the simplicity of life. Cafe Lae offers not only delicious food, but also visual arts and spiritual relaxation. It makes people feel that life can be relieved in its simplicity.
