Population: 1.5 million in the city limits; 2.5 million in the greater metropolitan area.
Importance: Kaohsiung is the industrial, cultural, and educational center of southern Taiwan.
The
Kaohsiung City skyline, as viewed from the harbor, is dominated by the
85-floor Tuntex Sky Tower (center). Kaohsiung Harbor is the third
largest container port in the world.
From the
observation
deck of the 85 floor Tuntex Sky Tower looking north one can see BanPing
Mountain in the distance (top left). DzwoYing District,
where Cornerstone Baptist
Church is located, is just this side of BanPing Mountain. Only part of
Kaohsiung is visible
in this view.
