This area, particularly around the swing bridge is a great example of urban renewal. Used to be a poluted industrial area but has been transformed into an area for walking and sightseeing. The best of the old buildings have been transformed into galleries and restaurants. Heaps of sculptures and art installations around and great pedestrian swing bridge.

It is pleasant to take a walk along the shore with the city skyline in the background. Around there are various works of art, graffiti etc. scattered here and there. The Harbor bridge is also beautiful from which to admire the view.

Aihe, meaning 'river of love', passes through the center of Kaohsiung City and enters the port, but it is not a wide river like the Han River in Seoul, but a narrow river similar to the Thames River in London and is also short at 12km in length. However, it is a place that has played an important role in the city's economy and culture, and is the main axis of city life where various cultural facilities are located, but it is also a place where historical changes have been as great as the city's development. Before Taiwan was transferred to Japan in 1895, it was called 'Takao River' by the natives. After it became Japanese territory, it was dredged and used as a canal, and a port was developed at the estuary. In 1920, the Chinese character name was changed to a Japanese transliteration, followed by the second river. After returning to the Republic of China after World War II, the sound was changed to 'Kaohsiung River', but from this time onwards, we entered an era of water pollution due to industrialization. In fact, the name 'Eicher' is also said to have a sad history, one of which was a couple committing suicide by jumping into the river in the late 1940s. Since tourists began entering the riverside park during this period, a typhoon in 1948 caused a cruise ship company's sign to be blown off. The fact that only the letters '愛河', which were part of the name at the time, remained, caused the river to be renamed, and this was finally set as the official name in 1972. Water quality purification has been carried out since 1979, and it is now reborn as a symbol of Kaohsiung. It has developed into another tourist destination. It is a river that is the lifeblood of the city and is a place for many things to see and experience. It also has different feelings during the day and at night, so if you have time, it would be a good idea to visit it at both times.

Ai He is the river that runs through southern Kaohsiung city and its suburb Yancheng. Ai He is usually translated to Love River. In the days gone by, Love River was a murky industrial area, but it has been transformed into cycle paths, parks and colorful Chinese monuments. Kaohsiung is one of Taiwan's landmark cities, it's full of temples and night markets. These days, the upper-class restaurants often gain Michelin stars, and the local Kaohsiung has night markets sell traditional street food. Officially, Ai He is a common Chinese name, but these days the river is always known as Love River.
