Today it is Kaohsiung Port Warehouse No. 2 (KW2), a multi-functional space combining cultural creative industries, exhibitions and dining.
History
The wharf was originally the number 2 port of the port of Kaohsiung. Its previous function was exporting bananas, wood and steel.[citation needed] However, because of the transformation of economy and container automation, the function of the port declined gradually.
The government[which?] promotes the tourism industry in these years, so the number 2 port had the chance to become a sightseeing wharf, combining seaside scenery and food. The name of the wharf became a more cultural one as the Kaohsiung Fisherman's Wharf. Nowadays, it has become one of Kaohsiung's scenic spots, following the successful step of Urban Spotlight Arcade and Love River.[citation needed]
The lease of Kaohsiung Fisherman's Wharf was terminated on October 28, 2011
In 2018, Kaohsiung Port Warehouse No. 2 (KW2, Chinese: 棧貳庫; pinyin: Zhàn èr kù), the former Kaohsiung Fisherman's Wharf, has been reimagined and repurposed to combine cultural creativity, dining, and exhibition spaces within a completely open port area.[2]
