Thanks to its seaside location, Lotus Pond, and Love River, Kaohsiung offers a diverse range of water activities!

The Lotus Pond Water Sports Center（蓮池潭水域運動中心）, in collaboration with Fun Outdoor Adventure School（瘋戶外冒險學校）, offers various non-motorized water activities, including SUP, dragon boat boards, canoes, and OP sailboats, along with professional training courses. If playing on the water is not enough, there are also challenging land-based adventure activities such as treetop walks and tree climbing. On both water and land, professional coaches lead group competitions to make these activities more fun. Even those who are afraid of water can experience the joy of canoeing!

Alternatively, you can take a ferry across to Cijin and head to Cijin Beach（旗津海水浴場）. This broad beach has a children’s play area and a bathing area. After a tiring day of fun, relaxing with a cold drink at the beach bar while waiting for the sun to dip into the sea is the perfect way to end a leisurely vacation.

Stay safe while enjoying the water!
