Shinkong Pier is located at the end of Xinguang Road in Kaohsiung City, adjacent to the iconic 85 Sky Tower. It is a coastal space that blends harbor scenery, leisure facilities, and creative design. Through a series of innovative public installations and artistic elements, the pier has breathed new life into the old port district, becoming a fresh destination for residents and visitors to stroll, relax, and connect with the ocean.
The pier features a raised circular skywalk, offering panoramic views of the harbor. Walking along the wooden boardwalk, visitors can enjoy the soothing sounds of waves and the scent of salty sea breeze—an uncommon seaside experience in an urban setting. Nearby attractions include the modern Kaohsiung Exhibition Center, the lush Kaohsiung Main Public Library, and the brightly illuminated CSC Building, together forming a stunning nighttime skyline of Kaohsiung Port.
One of the most eye-catching features is the children's splash pool. A bright red sprinkler installation—designed to resemble the cranes commonly seen at the port—stands out vividly against the blue water and sky. The design combines playfulness with industrial aesthetics unique to a harbor city.
Shinkong Pier is a multifunctional space where beauty of life meets maritime urban charm. It is perfect for family outings and leisure during the day and becomes an ideal spot for enjoying the harbor night views after sunset. A must-visit for experiencing Kaohsiung’s coastal allure.
