Taiwan
1. Our tour guide will guide tourists to climb the mountain and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Kaohsiung City at the Lover Observation Deck. 2.The Shoushan Lover Observation Deck is located next to the Shoushan Martyr’s Shrine. The observation deck is divided into upper and lower floors. There are 32 languages of I love you on the side fence, which symbolizes that love is a common language regardless of national boundaries; the side is made of steel pipes. The installation art of the large "LOVE megaphone" is the most famous. You can see the entire Greater Kaohsiung area from the Shoushan Lover Observation Deck, including Kaohsiung Harbor, Kaohsiung Railway Station, 85 Building and other landmarks. It has become the first choice for Kaohsiung to convey love.
