Glory Pier, pier in Lingya, Kaohsiung, Taiwan
Glory Pier is a pier in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, located along the east bank of the Love River with views of the harbor and city skyline. It extends as a long concrete structure into the water with a simple, open design that allows easy walking and viewing.
The pier was originally known as Pier 13 and played a key role in transporting troops and supplies to the islands of Kinmen and Matsu. After being renamed Glory Pier in 2005, it was transformed from a transportation hub into a recreational destination.
The name Glory Pier was given in 2005 to honor this place's important past as a transportation hub. Today, locals and visitors use the pier to enjoy views, walk along the water, and spend quiet time by the river.
The pier is easy to reach by public transport, with a subway station of the same name nearby and bus stops in the area. Bicycle rental stations are also available, making it convenient for visitors to explore the wider Love River area on two wheels.
A fountain plaza near the pier offers locals and visitors a relaxed spot to sit and watch boats passing by on the water. It also serves as a starting point for boat rides along the Love River, giving visitors a different perspective of the city.
