From Salt Fields to Smugglers: Is Yancheng Kaohsiung's Coolest Hood? 從鹽田到走私者：鹽城是高雄最酷的街區嗎？

Join me on a relaxed walk through Yancheng, my absolute favorite neighborhood in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Starting at the iconic Love River—once a marshy Takao River turned canal by the Japanese—this spot shaped the city's soul from salt fields to bustling port hub. Dive into its wild history: Japanese colonial wharves and warehouses - 1908 vibes, post-WWII smuggler's paradise for sailors' loot, 1960s shopping boom with department stores and "Thief's Alley," and today's revival with night markets, heritage sites, and street eats. We hit Love Pier - ex-military Pier 12, the old train yard with its 1908 North Signal Tower, Qixian Bar Street (Cold War R&R central), and gritty ship-breaking alleys that scream old-school Taiwan. No polished travel vlog here—just me vlogging while wandering, sipping my first Taiwan bubble milk tea - surprise, it's good, spotting random military parades (I love a parade!), and munching mysterious rice dumplings. From K-pop concerts at the Music Center to Sting shade from my Kitchener days, it's all real, unfiltered Kaohsiung. If you dig Taiwanese history, urban revival, night markets, and zero pretension, this is for you. Favourite tune playing throughout—pure vibes.
