Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Chi-Mai said with the friendly relations between Taiwan and Japan, the Japanese take part in an important role in the Kaohsiung tourism before the pandemic. After the pandemic, Kaohsiung City will pay more attention to the connection with and promotion in foreign markets. In particular, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong and Southeast Asian countries are target audiences that we must strive for. The world's tourism has undergone qualitative changes during the pandemic. The only constant is Kaohsiung's promotion for mountain, sea, river, and port tourism, and the strengthening of the construction of related software and hardware in scenic spots. For example, the reopening of Southern Cross-Island Highway will drive the development in Kaohsiung’s back yard of the eastern 9 districts; the aboriginal cultural sites with magnificent mountain views in Maolin, Namasia and Taoyuan are also attractions to foreign tourists; the continuous development of urban areas, such as the splendid Asia New Bay Area, the Green Corridor paving the green arteries, the historical track of Yancheng and Gushan Hamasing, etc.; there are also the incredible seafood in Cijin and rich and diverse scenery throughout north and south of Kaohsiung (Qieding, Yong’an, Mituo, Ziguan, Linyuan districts). In addition, 39 gourmet restaurants in Kaohsiung that were included in the Michelin's 2022 Bib Gourmand lists for the first time this year will definitely attract more international tourists to come here for a taste of the amazing Kaohsiung cuisine once the border opens up.
