 Kaohsiung
County
is
situated
at
the
southwestern
part
of
Taiwan.
By
its
northeastern
side
there
stand
the
Central
Mountain
Range.
Yushan
Mountain
Range
and
Alishan
Mountain
Range.
By
its
northern
side
there
is
Chianan
Plain,
and
western
side
Taiwan
Strait.
By
its
southeastern
side
the
Kaoping
Stream
and
Pingtung
County
are
the
boundary.
The
topography
extends
from
the
northeast
to
the
southwest. |

|
|
The
mountains
at
the
eastern
part
are
at
the
height
of
more
than
3,000
meters,
and
they
decline
to
the
west
to
form
hills.
There
appears
the
topography
of
plain
when
the
hills
extend
to
below
100
meters.
The
most
western
end
is
the
coastling
topography
of
the
sea.
Because
of
the
topographical
and
geological
changes,
there
create
various
kinds
of
beautiful
landforms
and
landscapes.
And
as
Kaohsiung
County
is
situated
at
the
sub-tropical
climatic
area,
the
complicated
systems
of
zoological
and
botanic
ecologies
are
created.
Different
natural
ecologies
also
form
different
tribal
cultures. |

|
Kaohsiung
City |
|
A
cosmopolitan
lifestyle
and
commercial
bustle
characterize
Kaohsiung.
Taiwan's
second
largest
city
and
the
island's
economic
showcase,
Kaohsiung
is
home
to
Taiwan's
largest
international
seaport
and
is
the
only
city
besides
Taipei
with
an
international
airport.
The
harbour
is a
major
international
container
port,
dry
dock,
and
shipping
center.
The
contrast
with
pastoral
Tainan
is
sharp.
Wide
streets
are
fronted
by
modern
street-and-glass
towers. |
