Originally a small fishing village in the late Ming Dynasty, Kaohsiung Port began to develop during the Dutch colonial period and Zheng Chenggong’s arrival in Taiwan
By the time of the Qing Dynasty, it had become the central hub for the distribution of goods in the Gaoping area
In 1858, the Port of Kaohsiung was opened for trade according to the Sino-British Treaty of Tianjin
Kaohsiung Port once ranked as the third-largest port for ocean freight in the world, just behind Hong Kong and Singapore
Although it has faced competition from other ports recently, Kaohsiung Port continues to strive to enhance its competitiveness, with its cargo throughput accounting for approximately 66% of Taiwan’s total
