"The southern Taiwanese port city of Kaohsiung may not quite be on Taipei’s level as an international destination, but a hotel like the InterContinental Kaohsiung means visitors can expect world-class luxury hospitality. It’s part of the Asia New Bay Area waterfront redevelopment, and is surrounded not only by corporate headquarters but by significant cultural destinations as well, including the Kaohsiung Exhibition Center and a Music Center containing several concert halls; your neighbors at the InterContinental might be visiting executives, but they might just as easily be concert pianists or K-pop singers." - Tablet Hotels
