Taiwan’s southern port city balances spiritual tradition with contemporary creativity. At Sunfong Temple, rows of glowing red lanterns illuminate carved stone and incense-filled courtyards, while the Dragon and Tiger Pagodas offer a vivid introduction to local symbolism. Along the waterfront, the Pier-2 Art Center transforms former warehouses into a lively district of large-scale art installations, murals, green spaces, and independent boutiques. A short ferry ride away, Cijin Island invites leisurely cycling, fresh seafood by the shore, and more public art set against sweeping harbor views.
