愛河發源於高雄縣仁武鄉，流經高雄市區，為高雄主要河川之一，全長約16.4公里，猶如城市的母親之河。下游河岸整治而成河濱公園，是市區內散步休憩的好去處，也是端午節划龍舟與元宵節燈會的舞台。過去由於工業污染與都市廢水排放不當，使得愛河因污染嚴重而惡名昭彰，但近年來經政府努力整治，並陸續在河岸兩旁進行綠化，闢建休息設施方使愛河的浪漫風華得以重現。
        愛河入夜以後沿著水面點點霓虹彩光，東西兩岸各具不同情調的"愛河曼波"與"黃金愛河"咖啡藝文廣場，散發迷人的咖啡香及快慢交替的美妙樂音，令人不得放慢腳步而融入其中，讓港灣城市的水岸休閒風情，為身心靈作徹底的放鬆，每天下午4:00~11:30可以搭乘愛河觀光船(愛之船)遊覽愛河風光。
        在高雄市交通局積極爭取下，花將近四千萬元打造15艘「愛之船」，「愛之船」是20人座的動力引擎小型觀光船，以愛神「丘比特」及七對國際知名情侶命名，在愛河沿線設許多停靠站供市民上下船 ，沿途瀏覽河岸美景並享受咖啡美食，觀賞街頭藝人表演，對活絡港都觀光產業的商機，將具有畫龍點睛作用。
※愛之船航班：下午4時至晚上12時，每15分鐘一班。（末班船23時30分）.
※愛之船航線：音樂館碼頭─高雄橋─建國橋（往返約25分鐘）.

「駁二藝術特區」原本是高雄港二號接駁碼頭旁的廢棄舊倉庫，駁二指的就是第二號接駁碼頭，因緣際會下成為施放國慶煙火的場地，進而發現這塊可以善加利用的藝術空間。
「駁二藝術特區」主要的結構有：適用於大型展演的「駁二P2倉庫」，能夠作為小型作品展、工作坊、研習教室等的C5「台糖倉庫」，用來表演用的「月光劇場」，最後還有作為社區市民休憩場所、藝術市集及表演場所的「藝術廣場」，較特別的是「月光劇場」成為藝術特區前曾遭大火，屋頂全數燒毀，但卻因此增添了些許浪漫情境。

在駁二倉庫後方還可以發現多年前知名的海上皇宮，現已荒廢在此處，以及單車步道旁林立的公仔，「駁二藝術特區」不僅為舊倉庫開創新生命，也讓民眾更能親近藝術，走在這裡您可以感受城市裡的優閒藝術之美。

駁二Art District used to be a deserted factory warehouse adjacent to Kaohsiung harbor#2.  Due to some unforeseen circumstances, it became a popular gathering spot for firework on Double 10 national holiday.  Over times, it was effectively utilized by government and gradually became the art center that it is famously known for as of today.

Art District is subdivided into several areas.  There are areas for large art exhibition and small art exhibition.  Other areas are known for seminar classes, performing art centers and art market.

Right behind Art District sat the seaside palace which had been deserted for a long time and many human-form, life-sized sculptures.  駁二Art District is the cultural center where you can fully immerse yourself in the leisure lifestyle of city life and beauty of contemporary art.      

西子灣站位於台灣高雄市鼓山區，為高雄捷運橘線的捷運車站。站名取自附近的西子灣，實際地點是哈瑪星，本站為橘線捷運系統終端點車站。原本似乎打算將此站設於中山大學行政大樓前，並於他站以捷運共構方式興建學生宿舍，雖因遭到反對而作罷，仍於通車兩年後於此站加上「中山大學」為副站名。「哈瑪星」則為其後不久再附加上去的第二個副站名
