Kindness hotel in kaoshiung

Kaohsiung - We took the High Speed Rail bound for Kaohsiung and had to take the MRT to our hotel.   

Kaohsiung is situated on the Southwestern coast of Taiwan, facing the Taiwan Strait to the west, and beyond the southern tip of the island.  It sits across vital sealanes connecting North-east Asia with the Indian Ocean, and offers outstanding commerical port facilities.  Proximity to the sea gives Kaohsiung a warm, sunny climate all-year round.   The 2nd largest city in Taiwan.
Our Hotel: Kindness Hotel Xiong Zhong -@ 44, Jianguo 3rd Road., Sanmin District, Kaohsiung City
The Kindness hotel is actually a chain of 13 hotels in Kaohsiung.

When we reached our hotel, we are surprised with the 5-star treatment from a 3-star hotel.   After a long trip, it was really good to have a homely feeling about a hotel and this is it.   We had a family room with 2 Queen size bed.  Our kids love this hotel as they had free flow of ice-cream, refreshments,  and internet access.   The staff made us feel so welcome that we extended one more night at this hotel.    They also had free use of the washing machine and dryer - which is really good as we had a pile of laundry to clean.

At night , we went to Kaohsiung famous night market - Liu He Night Market.


We sat down and had some fish noodles....
