Swimming in Kaohsiung is Not Just about Getting Wet

By Leave a Comment

The island-nation of Taiwan is not popular as a beach-paradise destination. It doesn’t have a Phuket (Thailand), Bali (Indonesia), or Boracay (Philippines) to boast of. However, the two lovely beaches in Kaohsiung can hold their own. Although tourism in this southwestern Taiwanese city is focused more on culture and traditions, modern structures, bustling industries and natural wonders (other than beaches), swimming in Kaohsiung is quiet pleasant and memorable. When going to Kaohsiung, definitely don’t forget to pack your bathing suit.

Smart Tips for Swimming in Bangladesh

By Leave a Comment

Swimming in Bangladesh can be great fun, but only if you know where to go and are sensible about your travel choices.  For one thing, the issues with water pollution render certain places unwise if you want to take a quick dip in the water.  For another, some times of year are likely to turn swimming into more of a necessity than a leisure activity.
