The Hongmaogang Cultural Park (traditional Chinese: 紅毛港文化園區; simplified Chinese: 红毛港文化园区; pinyin: Hóngmáogǎng Wénhuà Yuánqū) is a cultural park in Siaogang District, Kaohsiung, Taiwan.
Hongmao is a reference to the "red-haired" rulers of Dutch Formosa.[1]
In 2007, the Hong Mao Gang Village was relocated from the original site in Siaogang District to make a way for Port of Kaohsiung Intercontinental Container Terminal. Using a small lot of land reserved, the cultural park was established there. It was opened in June 2012 after three years of renovation works.[2]
The park spans over an area of 3.42 hectares.[3] It consists of Gaozi Tower Revolving Restaurant, exhibition hall, outdoor exhibition area, sky walk, pier and waiting Room and ocean front platform.
The cultural park is accessible by bus from Siaogang Station of Kaohsiung MRT.[4]
