[在高雄 “Dua" ] The Hotel Dua, Kaohsiung
One of the most iconic hotels in Kaohsiung must be THe Hotel Dua. The hotel is a boutique hotel mixing elements of the modern and classy with Taiwan’s “Min-nan" culture pieces. The name of the hotel also meant “stay" in the Min-nan dialect. The hotel is conveniently located… (continue reading..)
之前看過許多旅遊簡介講到高雄都會提到這間 Hotel. “Dua" 也是閩南語 “住"的諧音，讓人有些親切感，但裡面的設計卻是很現代超五星的 Boutique Hotel 設計＆裝潢，位於不需走幾分鐘就到美麗島捷運站的地點，也讓這個 hotel 相當的…

房間的空間其實有些小，不過不會覺得壓迫，必較屬精緻，＆不錯的空間運用，靠近窗台連沙發都省了，直接架個平板凳加幾塊坐墊也是相當舒服。
The hotel room. Kinda small but exquisit.
衛浴洗手洗髮等用的是台灣的 “阿原", 還滿和他們的 image match 的。
The washroom in the room. They use a local brand of high end toiletry that’s quite well known for its “naturalness".
早上在頂樓餐廳吃自助式早餐，樣式還滿多的，好吃度應該還算ok.
We had buffet breakfast the next day in the hotel’s rooftop restaurant – étage 15. There’s quite a variety. Food tastiness – ok.
在屋頂的這個餐廳- étage 15 還有室外的座位區。中午到晚上這個餐廳則也是有開放給外面的食客，也可來個下午茶。
The restaurant also had an outdoor seating area where you could have some nice aerial view of the city.
可以有很好的高雄市景 View 喔！
The restaurant is open to outside guests for lunch, afternoon and dinner.

既然提到美麗島站，就一定要去看一下這個有名的在捷運站中的彩繪玻璃屋頂 – 光之穹頂.
Since it’s quite close to the Formosa Boulevard MRT station, you’ll definitely need to check out an impresive art piece in the Formosa Boulevard MRT station – The Dome of Light.
若有從 Hotel 那端的路口進到捷運站，就會看到這個還滿酷的自動回收機！好像回收成功的金額可以儲值到你的 “一卡通" 中, 但注意它可是有 “營業時間"的喔!
You can also check out this auto-bottle-recycle machine in the MRT station! The $ that you get from recycling can be deposited onto the local transit card.
