KAOHSIUNG: THE MOST LIVABLE CITY IN TAIWAN? | 高雄：臺灣最適合居住的城市？

GENIUS ENGLISH SCHOOL: www.geniusengli...
In this video I talk about some of the reasons why I LOVE living in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Teaching English here for two years has been an incredible and enriching experience. If you're thinking about moving to Taiwan to teach English, check out this video! Kaohsiung has so many thing to offer, from beaches, to night markets, a great social scene, and plenty of great bars. Come to Kaohsiung, you won't be disappointed!

我喜歡高雄

[@giannishen]

真不敢相信才兩年，衛斯理就得到這麼棒的成就：颱風及介紹高雄的影片上了新聞及綜藝節目官網； 受金門之邀，前往拍攝介紹國酒金門高粱的影片；最近訂閱也已悄然超越元元，我真的沒有看錯人！ 英文頻道能在台灣取得如此佳績，真有兩把刷子；希望高雄朋友都能認識、支持衛斯理，也請分享！ 這麼棒的加拿大人，他的國家支持我們加入世界衛生組織，我們也要幫他們照顧這位難得的好人才！

高雄除了天氣穩定還有很多好吃的美食，物價合理，交通便利，南部人的熱情是一大誘因，如果是我選擇居住地也會選高雄其實台南也不錯，缺點是薪水平均上還是北部優，不過北部的消費真的很高，綜合下來南部會是很好的選擇，歡迎你來高雄定居 兄弟長的非常的相似，媽媽很可愛。 In addition to the stable weather in Kaohsiung, there are many delicious foods with reasonable prices and convenient transportation. The enthusiasm of the people in the south is a major incentive. If I choose a place of residence, I will also choose Kaohsiung. In fact, Tainan is also good. The disadvantage is that the salary is still better than the north. , But the consumption in the north is really high. In the south, it will be a good choice. Welcome to Kaohsiung to settle down. The brothers are very similar, and the mother is very cute.

ck ck 光是天天艷陽天，非常少下雨就屌打北部那老是陰冷的天氣

[@ckck-fw7jm]

@@shitminshit 的確是，之前常上北部蠻容易下雨，冬天溫度也比較冷，我是覺得吃飯不太方便，每次吃都要花一到兩小時或更久，在南部就不需要花太多時間，在吃飯這部份，如果是以風景區來說台灣各地都有他獨特的風格，在南部生活久了，去北部真的會很不習慣步調太快了很難放鬆，結論就是南部很適合居住，不管做什麼都很方便。

Yeah I love living here, coming up to 18 years! When I first came love river was really horrible so smelly and black water, the pollution was even worse than now! I remember I stayed at the Hi Lai hotel and from the 33rd floor looking north you could not even see shou shan for weeks at a time. Yes the pollution in recent years has got bad again, but nothing like 18 years ago. Still a fantastic city to live, it is a cyclist paradise, can go mountain biking and hiking 5 min from my doorstep, 40min by bike I'm in the quiet roads behind Yanchao. Beach 10min drive. What a place

[@mi22344]

說到高雄景點，最近台20線南橫公路有開放桃源梅山口到天池，一路風景跟天池上的風景很漂亮，有時間可以去看看喔!但是有一些規定，所以記得要先查好規定是什麼再去，以免不能上去白跑一趟。

[@SAM102588]

我住在澳洲10年。在來澳洲之前，我在台北工作10年，當時很不喜歡高雄（大家的刻板印象想法）。前幾年我回台灣玩，我到高雄幾天。 我當下就感覺到不同的體驗。 1-薪水其實沒有很低。 2-消費沒台北高。 這兩點綜合下，等於-台北收入高，但消費更高。高雄收入低，但消費沒有那麼高。所以是相等的狀態。 3-生活模式比較慵懶，慢步調。（台北很快，所以壓力比較高） 4-路很寬。 5-離海邊近，以及墾丁。 （台北也有海域，但墾丁偏向渡假風） 6-生活比較多元。因為的確可以到台東，花蓮。（台北雖然可以到宜蘭，但宜蘭已經是台北人的後花園，這沒有多元生活了，只是台北人暫時逃離城市的一個城市而已，所以你還是一樣遇到台北人。但花東就可以有很不同的生活方式。）

[@sekikun17]

高雄的問題從來不是低薪而是機會太少相對北部而言.除了台北跟竹科比不上.高雄的薪水中位數還是在前段.非常有錢的人不多但有錢人還是不少的

We are staying in Yancheng district right near the Love river and we are loving this neighbourhood. We came in February, hoping for cooler weather but it was 29 degrees today. It was snowing back home in Vancouver last week so we are not used to this at all. We spent our first week driving down the East coast and will be here for only one more week. We don’t want to leave.

When you live in a foreign city, you usually come with exotic feelings. When I first set foot on Canada, the sun didn't set until half past 10 in the night. I felt it was bizarre. Every house was surrounded by high trees with well-trimmed lawns in the front yards. Seaplanes took off from the water and seagulls or large birds stood nearby. All made me felt surreal. Kaushiung is bigger than any cities in Canada except Toronto but it gives the impression of a labour-intensive city and it's water quality isn't good. The scenery in Kauhsiung is pretty good though with the love river flowing slowly through it. Maybe we should consider how to change it to a technology intensive city and make the sauce of pollution less and less.

The name 高雄 is a Japanese name.

[@user-qw1er2ty3ui4o]

Official version is that 高雄 was originally called “Takao” by the aboriginals. Takao transliterated to “打狗” by hokkien-Chinese settlers. Japanese pronunciation of Kanji script “高雄” happens to be “takao” and was determined to be more elegant than “打狗” by Japanese Imperialists.

I agree with you on this assessment... I moved from Taoyuan to Kaohsiung a few years ago for the reason that I am planning to retire here when the time arrives. Although Taiwan is an island country, ironically, Kaohsiung with its harbor is actually the only one I consider a real harbor city. I sometimes compare it to Auckland in NZ, or Victoria in Canada (not necessarily "newly wed and nearly dead" :-) a very beautiful place, BTW). But I have to admit that you have explore more of Taiwan then I do. Kudos to you!

[@WesDaviestravel]

How do you feel about Keelung?

[@jyajangtsai6532]

@@WesDaviestravel I would say Keelung is a very attractive place to VISIT, but not to live as it's way too rainy. Another attraction of Keelung is its accessibility to northeastern coast, some of the most oceanic spots in Taiwan. Although I do prefer mild weather (like in Canada), I consider the summer in Kaohsiung is more bearable than Taipei... the air circulation/ventilation is better, I guess.
