Kaohsiung MRT · Circular Light Rail · Line guide
DISCOVER THE CITY BY METRO
Along harbour and green space, get to know Kaohsiung slowly.
The Music Center, Pier-2 and Museum of Fine Arts each have their own pace. Choose two harbour stops or set aside a half-day for art.
One line. Many sides of the city.
Kaohsiung LRT forms a loop; check the direction and destination before boarding. Use designated crossings and keep clear of the tracks.
