Geography of Love River
Love River , the lifeline of Kaohsiung City, originates from Ren-wu Township in
Kaohsiung County, flowing through Zuo-ying, San-ming, Gu-shan, Yen-cheng, Chen-chi, Lingya and finally into the Kaohsiung Harbor. The main river is 12 kilometers in length. 10.5 km of
the river flows through the essential sections of Kaohsiung City. The widest part of the river
measures 130 m, and the narrowest 14 m. The origin of the Love River is a irrigation canal.
The drainage area is about 5600 hectares. The population along the river is about 720,000 .
The downstream of the Love River is divided into two courses flowing into the ocean. Right
after the connection between the main river and the 2nd Canal, the river is divided into two .
One flows into the Kaohsiung Harbor in Ling-ya-liao; the other used to flow into the sea in
Hamashing, but later the silt turned the river into land. The main river used to be twice as
wide as the current main river. The local people call the main river flowing through Yen-cheng
District “Tao-cheng Harbor” (means the harbor in the front) Love River is unique in Taiwan.
No one will think of Kaohsiung without thinking of Love River. It is a symbol of romance, but
also plays an important role in the economic development. Compared with other rivers, Love
River is short. It flows through the essential districts of Kaohsiung city and several important
townships in Kaohsiung County. Different from other rivers, the Love River used to be a canal
for transportation; nowadays, it is the main drainage canal and scenery spot.
愛河的地理
愛河是高雄市的生命線，起源於高雄縣仁武鄉，流經左營，三
民，岡山，鹽埕，前鎮，苓雅，其最終到高雄港。主要流域為
12公里。其中十點五 公里流經高雄市的精華區。河流最寬處為
13米 而最窄處為14米 愛河原為灌溉水渠。其排水面積約5600
公頃。沿河人口約七十二萬人。 下游的愛河分為兩個水道流入
大海。 其中一個水道在一處舊稱苓雅寮的地方流入高雄港，
而另一個則在 Hamashing流入大海 ，但後來淤泥把此河道變成
了土地。愛河原河流為目前河流的兩倍寬。當地人誇稱這條流
經鹽埕區“打狗港” （指港前）的河流在台灣是獨一無二的。
每個人一想到高雄就會想到高雄的愛河。這是一個象徵著愛情，
但也發揮了重要經濟作用的河流。相較於其他河流，愛河流域
是相當短的。但是 它流經高雄市的重要地區和高雄縣的幾個重
要鄉鎮。不同於其他河流的是愛河曾經是一條具有運輸功能的
運河;如今，它是具有排水功能的運河和著名的風景區。
The History of the Love River
The Love River did not have a clear river course before Ming Dynasty.
The main river and its branches combining with the sea around Kaohsiung
Harbor formed a 150 square kilometers inland shallow sea. Later, because
of the elevation of land and the silting up along the sea, the river course
was formed. During Ching Dynasty, the Love river was simply called “Gang”
(means “harbor” in Chinese). It was not until the beginning of Japanese
colonization that the Love River was called “Da-gao River”. As the city
name was turned from “Da-gao” to “Kaohsiung”, the Da-gao River was
renamed Kaohsiung River. In 1908, when the railway from Keelong to
Kaohsiung was completed, the Japanese government started a threephase harbor construction. This construction became the first renovation
for the Love River by narrowing and deepening the river. This construction
also enhanced the ability of transportation for wood. The Da-gao River
became the Da-gao Canal.
The History of the Love River
After Taiwan was returned to the Republic of China, the government started to build
parks along the river to attract tourists. In 1948, after one typhoon, part of the sign board of
a boat rent shop read “Love River Boats for rent” was blown away, leaving only the two
Chinese characters “Ai-ho” (means Love River”). When the reporters came to report a piece
of news about lovers committing suicide by drowning themselves in the river, the sign board
“Love River” was filmed and thus the name of “Love River” became popular. In 1968, the then
Kaohsiung City mayor changed the name “Love River” to “Ren-ai River” to celebrate the
birthday of the first lady. In 1992, some members of the Kaohsiung legislative body
suggested the name “Ren-ai River” be changed back to “Love River”. In the 1960s, the rapid
economic progress brought large population. The sewage system was not comprehensively
built; therefore, most of the family waste water flew right into the river. The river’s selfcleaning ability was crashed, resulting in a dirty and smelly Love River. To make the matter
worse, in the 1970s, several heavy industries in the Ten Major Economic Construction
Projects were located in Kaohsiung, seriously polluting the Love River. No living marine life
could be found in the river. Fortunately, in 1977, the government started to face the problem
and built a complete sewage system. After years of renovation, the river comes into life again.
The improved water quality and beautiful view along the river bring people back to the Love
River. The Love River has become one of the most famous tourism spots in Kaohsiung.
愛河的歷史
在明朝時， 愛河沒有明確的河道。其主要河流及其分支河流結合高雄港附近海域形
成一個一五○平方公里的內陸淺海。後來，由於土地的隆起和海洋的淤塞，河道終於
形成。 在清朝，愛河只不過是所謂的“港” （意思是中文的“港口”） 。直到後來
日本殖民統治的時期 愛河被稱為“打狗河” 。隨著城市名字的改變，打狗河改名為
高雄河。於1908年，當時的高雄的鐵路已經完成，日本政府開始分三個階段興建港
口。這項工程成為第一個改造愛河的工程，縮小和深化河流。這項工程也提高了木材
的運輸。打狗河成為大運河。而後其回歸中華民國， 政府乃開始建設河流沿岸為公
園以吸引遊客。 1948年，一場颱風過後，部分“愛河船租鋪”的招牌被風吹走，只
留下兩個漢字“愛河” （指愛河。〉 “當記者一來到當地 報導一則愛侶自殺溺死自
己於此河流的新聞時，其招牌“愛河” 遂被拍攝下來 “愛河”成為流行。 1968年，
當時的高雄市長改“愛河改“為”仁愛河“ 以慶祝第一夫人的生日。 1992年，一些
高雄立法機關的成員建議將”仁愛河“改回”愛河“ 。在20世紀60年代，經濟的快
速進展引入大量人口。污水系統並沒有全面建立，因此，大多數的家庭廢水便流入河
中。河流的自淨能力於是被摧毀，造成又髒又臭的愛 河。而更糟糕的是，在70年代，
十大經濟建設的一些重工業項目都設在高雄，其嚴重污染了愛河。海洋生物在愛河失
去蹤影。幸運的是， 在1977年，政府開始處理這樣的問題，並建立一個完整的污水
處理系統。經過多年的整治。改善的水質和美麗的景色使沿河人民又重回愛河。愛河
已經成為高雄最有名的旅遊景點。

雄市的精神。整修後，其古樸的建築風格
不變，但看起來更加明亮。高雄歷史博物
館已成為高雄的地標。
3. Kaohsiung Museum of History
The old city government building was built in
1938 during later period of Japanese rule. The
style of the building is so- called "imperial
crown style". The whole building looks like the
shape of the Chinese character “高” (the first
character of city name:高雄Kaohsiung),
symbolizing the spirit of Kaohsiung City. After
renovation, the quaint style of the building
remains intact but looks brighter. The
Kaohsiung Museum of History has become the
landmark of Kaohsiung.
4. Kaohsiung Concert Hall
The Kaohsiung Concert Hall is established in November 2000,
located behind the Kaohsiung Museum of History. The Concert Hall
is well-equipped, with indoor concert halls and an outdoor concert
plaza. The Kaohsiung Concert Hall has become a popular place for
cultural activities. Currently, the Kaohsiung Concert Hall also
houses the Kaohsiung City Chinese Orchestra and the Kaohsiung

潔。自行車警察招募來自不同派出所員警，誰負責愛河的自行車必須駐紮在幾個風
景區周圍城在市週末和節假日以讓遊客安全。
suggestions
First of all, after renovation, the riverbank along the Love River has become a popular place for
leisure, including both pedestrians and cyclists. However, the paths on both sides of the river are
not wide enough to accommodate the walking crowds and racing cyclists. Besides, the paths are
not slippery-proof, which poses some threat to the users. In the future, the government should
improve the quality of the cycling path and modify the course so that both pedestrians and cyclists
can enjoy a safe leisure environment. Secondly, the value of land in Kaohsiung is soaring with the
help of the High Speed Rail, the Dream Mall, the Kaohsiung Arena, and the completion of the Red
Line of the Kaohsiung Mass Rapid Transit system, and the project of the International Pop Music
Center. Moreover, the real estate surrounding the Love River area is soaring, following the
successful renovation of the Love River and several other new constructions, such as the Shinguang Pier and the Kaohsiung Film Archive. However, the real profits go not to the old houses by
the river, but to the new high-rise buildings which have a good view of the Love River and the
Urban City Light. Therefore, the government should try to promote the old houses by the Love
River by improving the housing policy and landscaping. Nowadays, business can not work alone.
To boost prosperity, shops and business districts should work together to enhance their overall
competitiveness by efficient marketing, enhancing the advantages of the shopping district, creating
a trusting image and a pleasant environment. After renovation, the Love River has help boost
tourism not only in the Love River area, but also other areas in Kaohsiung. The inhabitants living by
the river play an important role in the future development of the Love River. They will also change
the structure of business in this area.
建議
首先，經過整治，愛河沿岸已成為一個受歡迎的休閒場所，包括行人和騎自行車者。但
是，河兩邊的道路不寬，不足以容納步行的人群及賽車或騎自行車者。此 外，道路不
能防滑，已證實會帶來了一些威脅到用戶。今後，政府應圖謀改善，使行人和騎自行車
者都可以享受一個安全的休閒環境。
其次，土地的價值是在高雄環境的改善中飆升，例如：高速鐵路、 夢時代 、高雄市體
育場、高雄捷運系統紅線的完成及國際流行音樂中心的計畫。此外，愛河周邊地區的房
地產飆升後，成功地改造愛河和其他一些新的建築，如新光碼頭與高雄電影資料館。然
而，真正的利潤不是在河流邊的老房子，而是新的高層建築有一個很好的景觀，。因此，
政府應努力促進愛河老房子的改善和環境美化。
如今，企業不能單獨工作。為了促進繁榮，商店和商業區應共同努力，提高他們的整體
競爭力及具有高效率的經營，提高優勢的購物區，建立一個可信賴的形象和優美舒適的
環境。
整治後的愛河可以促進旅遊業不僅在愛河地區，其他地區亦然。愛河不但影響沿岸居民
的生活。他們也將改變這一領域中的企業結構。
