Option 1: Cruise tour in Kaoshiung Harbor (limited vacancies)

As the largest harbor in Taiwan, Kaohsiung Harbor serves as both an economic and cultural hub. In addition to its stunning tropical ocean views, the harbor is surrounded by a mix of modern and historic landmarks, such as the Kaohsiung Music Center, the 85 Sky Tower, the Cihou Lighthouse, and the British Consulate at Takow. This tour will begin with a viewing of the Great Harbor Bridge rotation show, followed by a cruise tour of Kaohsiung Harbor.

Price: 1200 NTD

Option 2: Lotus Pond

The Lotus Pond is recognized as one of the “Eight Sights of Fongshan.” The pond is surrounded by ancient-style pavilions, towering statues of deities, and remnants of the old city wall. The renowned Dragon and Tiger Pagodas are a highlight, featuring two towers with a dragon entrance and a tiger exit—leaving through the tiger’s mouth symbolizes the act of dispelling bad luck and welcoming good fortune.

Banquet

Pān-toh (listen to the pronunciation), also known as the roadside banquet, is a traditional Taiwanese-style feast held to celebrate significant occasions. In keeping with this tradition, the conference banquet will take place by the conference venue in this style, allowing us to come together, enjoy a delicious meal, and share quality social time.

Note: Although banquets are often considered formal events, we recommend dressing comfortably due to the outdoor temperature.

Price: 1800 NTD
