    Took the High Speed Rail (HSR) from Taipei to Zuoying (just outside of Kaohsiung City) which took only 1h 40mins, then the MRT into Kaohsiung main station, drop luggage at Riverside Hotel. A quick breakfast of sandwich and bun and coffee for breakfast.
    Din Tai Fung for lunch: fried rice, braised beef noodles, won ton in Chili oil, crab roe and pork xiao long pao, vege and Mushroom dumplings, hot and sour soup.
    Cabbed to church nearby to attend mass but they only had way of the Cross. Then walked nearby to the Kaohsiung lake where the summer and autumn pavilions and giant statue of guan yu. Bought sugar cane juice to drink.
    We checked in to the hotel and had a snooze.
    Liuhe night market for dinner : grilled squid, grilled corn, chicken hearts and ribs, Shitake, brown sugar boba, oyster omelette (better than Taipei), and dumpling (with peanuts, a bit weird but tasted like usual otherwise).
