At the Lover's Wharf, you can see a
beautiful sunset at dusk, people
windsurfing at nightfall, and white birds
flying above the sea. In the proximity, a
tourist fish market featuring with a main
street that sells fresh seafood provides an
ideal place for dining and shopping. The
Seaside Cafe and Lovers' Wharf are the
place to go for visitors who enjoy feeling
the harmony between man and ocean.
At the Lovers' Wharf, visitors can take a
stroll along the seaside wooden footpath
and enjoy the romantic atmosphere of Europe. The footpath extends into the sea with a pile
supporting structure. Its descending stairways create step height as well as use space for seating.
You can walk along the wooden footpath and pause anytime you like to appreciate the changingfaces of the sky at different times of the day - in the morning, when the sun sets, or at dusk - and
be immersed in romantic fantasies.

Tianliao Moon World
Tianliao Moon World is a tract of barren
land between Chongde Village and Gutin
Village of Tianliao District. It has a dreary
and desolate beauty of desert and is
famous for its similarity to the landscape of
the Moon surface.
This queer terrain is called "badlands" in
geography an adverse landscape caused
by the strong erosion of rain and streams
over the years due to "rejuvenation" of the
earth's crust. The Tianliao Moon World sits
in the valley of a small tributary of Erren
River and used to have a dam for sediment
storage to store water in the rain season. The sight of it was called "yue-jing-nong-tang" (Farm
Pond on the Moon). However, the dam (farm pond) has been washed away over approximately a
decade of time with the continuous scour of rain. Today, nothing but total desolation is what is left
there.
Apart from the eye-catching Chinese-style "Lan-Yue-Lou" (Moon Take Multistory Building) standing
in the proximity of the Moon World for visitors to rest and appreciate the sight, there are also

Love River Sightseeing Boat
Almost all big cities have a beautiful river
passed by, this is especially true in
Kaohsiung. Love River lies across
Kaohsiung for times of sunrises and
sunsets. Love River, known as Dagou River
in Qing Dynasty, was renamed by
Japanese as Takao River.
The river was also called Kaohsiung Canal.
After restoration of Taiwan, the riverbanks
were beautified with greenery works and
developed to be park areas, decorated with
pillars chained with iron rope. The area
becomes a romantic place for lovers to
date with each other, therefore, the river
was reputed as Love River.
In order to celebrate his dear Madam
Chiang's birthday, the late president
Chiang Kai-Shek named it Renai River,
however, local people are still used to call
it Love River. The Love River has been a
dirty river with odorous smell due to pollution of industrial and house drainage. It was ironically
regarded as the ugliest landmark of Kaohsiung. Following years pollution control, the River
rebuilds its beauty, with egrets flying over and fishes playing waves.
On the banks, a number of parks and green lands were developed and constructed with a very long
bicycle way. You may wander relaxedly on the pathways of the banks, admiring the pleasantlandscape and enjoying the gentle touch of breeze.
