Siaogang District

Siaogang is a district extending along the Taiwan Strait that includes both urban zones and industrial areas in southern Kaohsiung. The Kaohsiung International Airport sits within its boundaries, handling domestic and international flights throughout the region.

The area began as a Dutch trading post called Ang Moh Harbor before becoming a sugar production center under Japanese rule. This industrial foundation established the region's role as a manufacturing hub.

The district contains cultural spaces like Hongmaogang Cultural Park and the Kaohsiung Astronomical Museum where visitors encounter local exhibitions and educational activities.

The airport terminal is accessible by public transport with good connections to the city center. Most of the district is industrial or residential, so plan visits to cultural venues in advance rather than exploring randomly.

The district is home to Taiwan's major steel manufacturing operations, with China Steel Corporation running extensive facilities here. This industrial presence shapes both the local economy and the landscape visitors see.
