The white warehouse by the harbor hides Kaohsiung's trendiest soul
If Kaohsiung is a city that embraces the ocean, then KW2 is the place that can best "tell stories about the sea".
This used to be an old warehouse by the Kaohsiung Port. Now it has transformed into a cultural and creative base that combines historical architecture with modern design. The white container-style building exterior + the harbor view with large glass windows are the best choice for taking photos and checking in.
Walking into KW2 is not just a shopping trip, but more like a miniature journey through the past and the present.
🏗️ Historical buildings × cultural and creative soul, a new life for a warehouse
KW2 was originally the second warehouse of Kaohsiung Port. It retains the original steel structure, red brick walls and high-rise space. You can enjoy the old wooden beams and historical traces above your head while drinking coffee. After renovation, cultural and creative brands, selected stores, specialty food and cafes have been added here, making the warehouse not just a synonym for "old", but a more warm and stylish existence.
🛍️ Visit the market × Choose good things × Eat and drink enough before watching the sea
Zhan Erku gathers many local Taiwanese brands and creative shops:
Hipster selection store, fragrance brand, handmade pottery
Taiwanese original design stationery, daily necessities
Bookstore and art exhibition space
When you are tired, go directly to the food area, where there are delicious stalls selected from all over Taiwan: authentic Taiwanese style Gua Bao, handmade Italian ice cream, Tainan pasta, authentic duck blood stinky tofu, freshly brewed coffee and harbor beer. Whether you want to eat enough or eat light, you can choose.
🌅 The sunset sea view is so healing, and the outdoor platform is full of photos
Zhan Erku faces the Kaohsiung Harbor. Walking to the rear platform is a beautiful corner to watch the ships, the sea, and the sunset. Starting at 4:30 in the afternoon, the sun will be dyed orange and gold, shining on the white walls of the container and reflecting on the sea. Every photo here is like a movie scene.
You can sit on an outdoor bench and enjoy the sea breeze, or you can lean on the railing and stare blankly, watching the boats slowly passing by, as if the pace of the city has also slowed down.

If you come to Kaohsiung and want to stroll slowly, take pictures slowly, and slowly feel the breath of the city, then Zhan-2 Warehouse is definitely worth a visit.
