By Ko Yu-hao and William Hetherington / Staff reporter, with staff writerThe Kaohsiung Tourism Bureau is this month promoting romance-themed destinations in the city to boost tourism. As businesses in the city that rely on tourism have taken heavy losses due to COVID-19, the bureau said that it hopes to encourage more Taiwanese to visit Kaohsiung by offering discounts and promotions. The other route takes visitors to sites including the Whale in Love installation on the Love River (愛河), a white shipping container cafe, a light show on the river, the Zone 767 boat ride area on the river and the KW2 Carousel (棧貳庫白色旋轉木馬), he said. Several vendors at these locations are also offering buy-one-get-one-free discounts on Saturday next week and March 15 for the White Day weekend, he said. Five-star, double-occupancy rooms at these hotels would start at NT$2,800 per night and standard rooms at some hotels would start at NT$699 per night, he added.
