Love River Cycle Path Introduction
The Love River Cycling Path, stretching 24.5 kilometers from Lotus Pond in the north to the True Love Pier on the right bank of the Love River in the south, weaves through the vibrant areas of Kaohsiung. The fragrant lotus and willows of Lotus Pond, alongside the shaded pathways, have long been likened to the lungs of the city, providing a refreshing escape for the body and mind. The wetlands, ponds, and native plant gardens offer a rich ecological environment. As you head south, the heart of the Love River, Hakka Cultural Museum, and Zhongdu Brick Kiln create a strong cultural and historical atmosphere, making it the most favored section among tourists; cycling along the gentle waters of the Love River leads to the expansive True Love Pier, where the Music Hall, History Museum, and Film Museum each offer unique experiences worth stopping for. As dusk falls, the skyscrapers along the Love River and the various uniquely designed bridges cast stunning lights, creating a captivating night scene filled with a different kind of romance. The Love River Cycling Path connects urban landscapes, cultural features, and the natural beauty of rivers and wetlands—if you want to take in the essential sights of Kaohsiung and experience the interaction between nature, people, rivers, and the city, cycling along the Love River is definitely a journey not to be missed.
