Kaohsiung Cultural Yacht: Pier-2 Art Center - Hongm

The cultural yacht 🛥️ boat trip (sailing time 40 minutes) has three time slots: 10:40, 14:40, 16:10, and the return time is: 13:50, 16:55, 19:50. I went there during the Dragon Boat Festival, and the weather was quite hot, so I chose to go there at night when the temperature would be cooler. If you choose a double ticket with meals, remember to call the Gaozi Tower revolving restaurant to make a reservation (07-8711707). It is a 5-minute walk from the berth to the restaurant. Considering that it is quite hot outside, I made a reservation 10 minutes after getting off the boat. You can dine in the revolving restaurant with air conditioning on while enjoying the harbor and coastal scenery outside the window. It is very comfortable. Taking a cultural yacht to the Hongmaogang Cultural Park is a very interesting way to go. If you drive directly from North Kaohsiung to Xiaogang, it is a long distance. On the contrary, taking a yacht can save you the fatigue of driving and you can also enjoy the beautiful scenery of the coast and the landmark buildings of the harbor. Compared with the usual viewing on the shore, it is more spectacular and the view is wider. There are also professional guides on the cultural yacht to explain the scenery along the harbor, making the voyage more interesting.

Really feel pity that just a great place of Hong Mao Gang, great view of harbor shore from late afternoon to night, from 棧貳庫 to 紅毛港； from 鼓山 to 小港....also with local tour guide Mr Hong leading the way back to some 300 hundred years ago about the fishing village. There was gallery remodel the fish village, and great food at revolving restaurant way up the harbour. Such experience is rare, great and heartfelt grateful to local habitants of 紅毛港

A group of four of us took advantage of the buy-three-get-one-free promotion to experience a half-day trip to Hongmao Port. Under the detailed explanation of the tour guide along the way, we set off from Zhanerku Pier. In the comfortable air-conditioning, Hongmao on the cultural yacht The Hong Kong Route leads us around Kaohsiung Port. We recommend that you pay attention to the sunset direction when choosing your seat to ensure sun protection. From a maritime perspective, we can watch the scenery of military ships, cargo ships, shipyards, ship repair yards and international cruise ships entering the port. The magnificent view is eye-opening. When we got ashore, another local Hongmao Port tour guide warmly welcomed us and told us How to preserve the traditional culture of the settlement after we moved to the village, and the process of establishing the Hongmao Port Cultural Association. We were led to visit the park’s style and architecture. The exhibition hall also introduced the local rich fishing resources and fishery culture, and free activities We had dinner at the revolving restaurant in the park, watching the big ships coming into the harbor up close, and admiring the sunset in the harbor. Because it was a weekday, there were not many people in the park, and the park seemed to be silent under the gentle sea breeze. It was a beautiful scene. A poem. The Kaohsiung Port at night on the return journey has a different scenery, but there are still introductions from the tour guide along the way. This cultural trip is like walking into the history of Hongmao Port. I can’t take a picture of one percent of the beautiful scenery with my hand. However, it is recommended that everyone must experience the in-depth cultural package itinerary of Kaohsiung Port and experience the memory and culture of Hongmao Port. You will definitely not regret it.

It was a long-awaited trip and I chose a holiday to go there. Cultural trip from Zhanerku to Hongmao Port. Mr. Hong, the professional tour guide, is really full of ink. He can introduce everything he sees immediately, and he listens very enthusiastically. The whole flight lasts about 35-40 minutes, and I will never tire of it. When you arrive at Hongmao Port, you will also get a guided tour to learn about the culture of Hongmao Port. Here we come to the High Pyramid Revolving Restaurant, which rotates slowly and gives you a 360-degree view. Perhaps because of the summer, the weather changes quickly, sometimes it is sunny and sometimes it is raining. The minimum purchase of 500 yuan per person in the restaurant is mainly made by cash or online transfer. Cards are not accepted. If you are alone, you can also experience it. There are also meals suitable for one person.

Although the Internet information says that from Exit 2 of Xiziwan Station on the Orange Line, you can reach Zhanerku KW2 by walking for 5 minutes. In fact, outside Exit 2, there is no sign in the direction of Zhanerku Kw2. I asked the store staff near the exit to find out the walking direction. In comparison, at Exit 1 of Xiziwan Station on the Orange Line, there are clear directions outside to Gushan Ferry Terminal to take a ferry to Cijin. After arriving at Zhanerku kw2, there was no sign outside or inside where to get the package ticket. Finally, after asking several store staff outside and inside, I went to the counter where I got the package ticket. After getting the package, I pushed the door to the cruise ship berth. When I looked back, I saw that the counter where I got the package was right next to the white carousel, a popular attraction in Zhenerku KW2! The on-board tour guide on this trip gave detailed and professional explanations of the scenery on both sides of the Taiwan Strait on both the outbound and return journeys. When the boat arrives at Hongmao City, you can join a free guided tour as soon as you land. The tour guide will explain and lead you around the city. You can also move around freely and visit exhibitions. Finally, go to Xiaohong Canteen, the high pyramid revolving restaurant, for dinner. Unexpectedly, the seafood is very fresh, the food quality and price are really cheap and good, and there is no undercutting of the customers. The above advantages can definitely make up for the time spent asking for directions and looking for the counter to get the package ticket. Overall, this trip is highly recommended.

I'd like to clarify the schedule for other travelers, as the official website and brochure aren't very detailed. The 10:40 AM departure arrives at Hongmaogang at 11:20 AM. If you plan to have lunch at the revolving restaurant, you'll need to call ahead for a reservation. You can book for 11:30 AM, which also helps you avoid the hot sun. For the return trip, you need to gather at the Hongmaogang waiting room by 1:40 PM, and the return departure time is 1:50 PM. Most importantly, you will arrive back at the original departure point at 2:30 PM after a 40-minute boat ride (not 1:50 PM).

The yacht tour is very comprehensive and detailed. The yacht ride is smooth, the cabin is air-conditioned, the sofas are comfortable, and the views are clear. The brief tour of Hongmaogang gave us insight into the formation of the Hongmaogang settlement and the history before and after the relocation. I recommend the great-value set menu for two at the revolving restaurant. The revolving restaurant has unique views and interior layouts. Every dish is delicious. I also recommend ordering the special cheese as a side dish, and suggest serving it with the meal so it has time to thaw. Remember to make a reservation in advance.

I purchased a round-trip ferry ticket to Hongmaogang Cultural Park and a cultural tour on Klook. The cultural yacht is very comfortable, equipped with sofa seats, and there are guides in the cabin to provide explanations, allowing people to appreciate the uninterrupted busy operations of Kaohsiung Port. After landing at the Hongmao Port Cultural Park, you can also see the spectacular container ships up close. The tour guide's explanations are lively and vivid, and the content is full of historical significance. I can feel their intentions! For tourists, this is a very special travel experience!

After considering choosing the 16:10 boat trip on weekdays, we arrived at Hongmao Port at about 16:50 and saw the evening sunset and night view of the moon! It should be noted that the exhibition hall is only open until 19:00 on weekdays. We missed it and did not visit it. At the High Pyramid Revolving Restaurant, there is no discount for on-site guests on weekdays. With the discount coupon given when purchasing tickets, you can get a 20 yuan discount for a purchase of 300 yuan or more, and a 50 yuan discount for a purchase of 500 yuan or more. The food is average, maybe it will be improved if it becomes more popular someday. Because the place is remote, there are not many tourists. The facility is relatively new, but unfortunately it has not been developed.

Note: The revolving restaurant costs 500 yuan per person! Buy a round-trip ferry ticket to Hongmao Port Cultural Park + cultural tour guide + meal-inclusive package for two people on Klook. The C/P value is high! It’s more cost-effective! Take a beautiful and comfortable yacht When the weather is hot, you can blow the air conditioner in the cabin and listen to the tour guide's explanation. You can also sit in the sofa area at the stern to enjoy the sea breeze and watch the Kaohsiung Port and the sunset. In addition, you can watch large container ships entering the port at the Hongmao Port Cultural Park. For tourists, It’s a rare experience!
