KAOHSIUNG -- area code (886-7)

General Information

    Kaohsiung sports some of Taipei's concrete canyon looks in its quickly redeveloping downtown area, but it still retains a breezy spaciousness accented by its landscaped river and harbor. There is a charming traditional fresh goods arcade, some well-worn local temples and a bustling night market. Mostly used as a gateway for industry and tourists winging in or out of its gorgeous modern international airport, Kaohsiung is well worth exploring for a day or two, particularly if you've hooked up online with a new friend who can show you around.

    The population of Kaohsiung is 1.5 million (that's about 60,000 Utopians who live in the vicinity).
