Kaohsiung is a city with special municipality status in southern Taiwan. Its origins date back to the early 17th century, when it was a small fishing village under various colonial rulers. It has since evolved into Taiwan's second-largest metropolis. Kaohsiung's urban landscape is characterized by a blend of historical and contemporary landmarks. The city is home to the 85 Sky Tower, one of Taiwan's tallest buildings, the Kaohsiung Confucius Temple, and the Port of Kaohsiung.
