The city’s Tourism Bureau announced today that the Kaohsiung Green Park (果嶺自然公園) — a massive 70-hectare transformation of a former golf course — will host a sprawling “Spring Picnic Fun” festival over two consecutive weekends starting April 25.

The “Dinosaur Fun Park” (恐龍酷樂園), which ran through April 6, featured live dinosaur performances, interactive exhibits, and themed activity zones. The city says attendance peaked on the opening day with more than 250,000 visitors, while improved weather on the third day helped push daily turnout to over 280,000.

The three-day exhibition will run from April 10 to April 12, operating daily from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m., and will be held on the 10th floor of the Zuoying High Speed Rail (HSR) integrated complex (左營高鐵共構大樓), a major transit hub that connects Taiwan High Speed Rail, TRA, and the Kaohsiung MRT.

Industry insiders say the March 10 launch from Singapore of the first Disney cruise ship based in Asia, Disney Adventure, highlights both the rapid growth of the regional cruise market and the structural challenges facing cities like Kaohsiung as they try to capture a larger share of it.

Megaport has grown from an indie-focused gathering into one of southern Taiwan’s most prominent live music events, and organizers say Hsieh’s return, 20 years after the festival’s launch, shows both the event’s longevity and its expanding draw.

According to posts shared on Feb. 27 and 28, Mizukawa visited southern Taiwan for work, uploading photos that appeared to show recognizable local signage, betel nut stand lighting, and Taiwan Lottery storefronts. She also posted a message written in Taiwanese, saying, “明仔載我佇高雄最後一工,” meaning “Tomorrow is my last day in Kaohsiung,” and asking fans to “take care” of her during the visit.
