Kaohsiung is a great city, but pearl?? Hmm, maybe a pearl that needs a good scrubing.

Taiwan's southern pearl to me would be Taitung.

Nice, but why is there no picture of the 85-story Tuntex Sky Tower, that is one of the tallest in the world?

It is 378m tall to the top of the antenna.

i kinda agree with u but i didn't know no more which title to give to this thread...

btw as you know it beyond a doubt: taitung means "east taiwan" in chinese, even if you're right geographically speaking and me too, i love so much east coast spectacular landscape.

Koashiung is indeed a beautiful city.
Hopfully, it will move further forward after the completion of the MRT system.
