Because the sidewalk doubles as a motorbike parking lot, caution and awareness are a must when passing unfamiliar areas off the main street. In general, it's best to walk between motorbike parking lots and in front of shops, rather than parked motorbikes and the road. Pedestrians should be especially careful when crossing a road because cars and motorcycles often run red lights. It is recommended to explore Kaohsiung on foot as many attractions are not far apart.

Metro operations stop around 23:30 for the Orange Line and until the end of 12:30 for the Red Line. Ask at the information desk to be sure.
