The service staff is very friendly! The environment is clean and the facilities are organized. All the children are tired from crawling around, so they must have a good sleep at night!

It was very interesting to see the exhibition before the end of the special moment exhibition. I could understand how the painters adjusted their positioning when the function of painting was partially replaced by photography.

When I went there, most of the locations were being set up, which was a pity. The short film being screened - Li Yuqi's "Another Landing" is very interesting. It is about historical forgetfulness and traces, especially in line with the history of the Golden Horse Hotel itself.

When we first come to Kaohsiung, we must visit the Love River. The light show at night and the cool breeze of the Love River, combined with the detailed introduction by the tour guide on board, allow us to have a better understanding of the history and geographical environment of Kaohsiung. Worth recommending!
