JOURNEY
After entering the impressive and voluminous check-in hall, passengers rise up and through a dramatic vertical opening into an expansive and dynamic departure lounge area that hovers above the site. It is here that the new Terminal reaches a spectacular culmination; defined by the sophisticated geometry of the curved ceiling and illuminated by an ever-changing pattern of natural light, the dramatic views towards the City and the Kaohsiung skyline on one side views and sweeping panoramas of the Sea, the sky and the beckoning horizon on the other, celebrate the events of both arrival and departure.
The Kaohsiung Marine Port Terminal aspires to absorb and channel the vibrant energy of Kaohsiung into a dramatic and dynamic urban interchange where maritime travel and public interaction together provide a powerful experience of a landmark gateway and a key urban destination in and of itself. Predicated on providing an urban hub of activity, excitement and sophistication, the Terminal celebrates the city, the sea and Taiwanese culture. Event and space brought together through a harmonious and powerful architecture.
