We took the 10:10am bus from Alishan to Chiayi and fortunately, we were not affected by the road block this time round!
We had decided to take the slower TRA train instead of the HSR to Zuoying because that is where the Alishan bus stops. So, we didn’t have to walk the considerable distance to take the BRT shuttle bus to the HSR station~ Moreover, our hotel is located at a walking distance from Kaohsiung station. It was just 40minutes slower and of course, slightly cheaper. 
After alighting from the bus, we rushed to get tickets for the next train departing to Chiayi which was leaving in just a few minutes. Glad that we made it in time because the following train was 1h later!
My first impression of Kaohsiung – HOT!!!
We walked to Kindness hotel (康橋商旅高雄站前雄中館) which was just a few minutes from the train station once we figured out the direction (right-side after exiting the station). Should have taken some photos of the room – it was pretty much a standard hotel room and the room rate includes free buffet-style breakfast.
Next was Dream Mall which felt like a deserted shopping mall to me. It was quite large but not very interesting… And, in the evening we went to Sanduo Shopping District (三多商圈). Nothing of particular interest and we ended up at Starbucks for drink. The heat was taking its toll on me and I was happy to simply go into any buildings to enjoy air-conditioned comfort.
