Lover River in Kaohsiung
The Love River is one of the popular attractions in Kaohsiung City,Taiwan Province. It was originally a canal used to transport timber during the Japanese colonial period(1894-1944). Although its name is related to the martyrs, it is now a place for lovers to show their affection.
