Taiwan Trip Day 2 - Checking into hotel in Kaoshiung

PLEASE ASK PERMISSION BEFORE YOU RE POST MY PHOTOS ON TO YOUR BLOG. THERE ARE SOME BLOGGERS WHO DID NOT ASK MY PERMISSION AND REPOST MY PHOTOS WITHOUT THE COURTESY OF LINKING BACK TO MY BLOG. THIS IS LIKE STEALING. PEOPLE, I HAVE SPEND MUCH TIME TAKING PHOTOS AND DOING HOMEWORK ON MY TRAVELLING INFORMATION AND KINDLY SHARE THESE INFORMATION TO ANYONE INTERESTED IN THEM. IF NECESSARY I WILL POST SCREEN SHOT OF YOUR BLOG TO SHOW YOUR BAD MANNERS OF STEALING MY PHOTOS. THE MOST DISGUSTING THING THEY DID WAS TO SCREEN SHOT MY PHOTO AND CORP OFF MY BLOG TITLE AND REPOST IN THEIR BLOG.

Not sure if we choose the correct hotel or not but there dont seems to be any hotel near zuoying HSR/MRT Station. Seems like most hotels are located near Kaoshiung MRT Station, so we choose King's Town Hotel near Kaoshiung MRT Station.

The hotel looked very cozy and the price is reasonable but problem is accessing the hotel from Kaoshiung MRT Station we need to cross over the railway track via a bridge.

There's only one exit from Kaoshiung MRT Station and once we exit, we can see the railway station on our right. We need to go into the railway station to cross over the railway tracks via a bridge but we need to pay NT6 (S$0.25) just to use the bridge.

So we got the tickets from the information counter. Best if you can speak mandarin otherwise you need to find someone to translate for you.

So we just show our tickets to the person in charge at the entrance of the bridge, he wont collect the tickets from us, only another person at the end of the bridge will collect the tickets from us once we exit the bridge.

There's a lot of people using the bridge but most of them will exit somewhere in the middle of the bridge to take the conventional (slow) trains to Taipei or some other towns.

This is the end of the bridge to our hotel at Jiouru Road.

From our hotel room window, I took photo of the railway station and the bridge and the Kaoshiung MRT station at the top left hand corner. Everyday we need to cross the bridge to access to the MRT station from our hotel.

Once we check into our hotel, the hotel will issue two ways platform cards each time we want to use the bridge so we dont have to pay any charges to use the bridge.

The other end of the railway station facing our hotel.

This is King's Town Hotel where we will stay for 2 nights. The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful and our stay comes with daily buffet breakfast.

The hotel room looked cozy and the bed very comfortable. I had good night sleep maybe it was because I was so tired.
