Development and construction


The Asia New Bay Area is located at the port of Kaohsiung city or in its immediate vicinity. The 500-acre site spans parts of the Gushan, Yancheng, Lingya and Cianjhen districts. The facilities are located on previously industrialized land, which had become vacant and fallow due to the transformation and rationalization of Kaohsiung Harbor. All the buildings in the Asia New Bay Area plan on adopting international competition and the concept of green buildings, which hope to promote Kaohsiung City's film industry, exhibition, culture, tourism and Yacht industries.
