Living and Teaching in Kaohsiung
Kaohsiung is a great city to live and teach English. The cost of living here is SIGNIFICANTLY lower than it would be in Taichung or Taipei and there is lots for you to take in.
If you're teaching in Kaohsiung, you might consider buying a scooter. Transportation can be trying and distances can be a bit far. If you do decide to get a scooter, BE CAREFUL and be sure to read our section on scooters and driving in Taiwan.
Places to See and Things to Do in Kaohsiung
- Aihe (Love River) - the name says it all. Romantic river rides through the city are great whether by day or night.
- Lotus Lake
- Dream Mall
- not one for shopping? Me either. The mall has lots of shops but for me I had to check our the fish shape design and the ferris wheel. Great views of Kaohsiung and the harbour.

“Well all I can say is it is like nothing you could ever imagine. I am half way through my year and I could never have imagined all that I would learn and experience. Teaching is great, the kids are sweet (most of the time). Korea has lots to see and do. If you like shopping, climbing or eating this is the place for you! Having gotten on the plane and spent half a year here so far I feel like I can do anything. So what are you waiting for? Get on the plane already!”
