The Kaohsiung Fisherman's Wharf (also Fishermen's Wharf,{{cite web| url=http://eng.taiwan.net.tw/m1.aspx?sNo=0002121&id=A12-00068 | title=Fishermen's Wharf | publisher=The Heart of Asia]|accessdate=2 March 2014}} {{zh|t=高雄港漁人碼頭|p=Gāoxiónggǎng Yúrén Mǎtóu}}) was a wharf in Gushan District, Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Today it is Kaohsiung Port Warehouse No. 2 (KW2), a multi-functional space combining cultural creative industries, exhibitions and dining.
History
The wharf was originally the number 2 port of the port of Kaohsiung. Its previous function was exporting bananas, wood and steel.{{citation needed|date=March 2014}} However, because of the transformation of economy and container automation, the function of the port declined gradually.
The government{{which|date=March 2014}} promotes the tourism industry in these years, so the number 2 port had the chance to become a sightseeing wharf, combining seaside scenery and food. The name of the wharf became a more cultural one as the Kaohsiung Fisherman's Wharf. Nowadays, it has become one of Kaohsiung's scenic spots, following the successful step of Urban Spotlight Arcade and Love River.{{citation needed|date=March 2014}}
The lease of Kaohsiung Fisherman's Wharf was terminated on October 28, 2011
In 2018, Kaohsiung Port Warehouse No. 2 (KW2, {{zh|t=棧貳庫|p=Zhàn èr kù|c=|s=}}), the former Kaohsiung Fisherman's Wharf, has been reimagined and repurposed to combine cultural creativity, dining, and exhibition spaces within a completely open port area.{{Cite web|title=Explore Kaohsiung’s Reimagined Warehouse District From Every Angle｜Culture｜2018-07-04｜Sponsored Content|url=https://english.cw.com.tw/article/article.action?id=2012|website=CommonWealth Magazine|access-date=2020-05-20}}
