From Formosa Boulevard Station, take the orange line to head west. Yanchengpu Station is right before the final stop Sizi-hwan Bay Station.
從美麗島站搭高捷橘線，往西走。鹽埕埔站就在終點站西子灣站前一站。

This area is ideal for taking a walk and understanding the past and present of the city. "Yanchengpu" in Mandarin Chinese is the Taiwanese pronunciation of Yancheng District.
這是可以好好散步，了解高雄現在和過去的理想所在。「鹽埕埔」中文的字面，就是鹽埕區全名的台語發音。

It's located between Port of Kaohsiung and Love River. The area has been prosperous since the Dutch colonial era due to the nearby harbor and was the most bustling area in Kaohsiung at one time. Its dwindling prosperity was due to the migration of the downtown and harbor industrial development to other areas of Kaohsiung.
鹽埕埔位置就在高雄港和愛河之間。因為鄰近港口，從荷蘭人統治時代就很繁榮，也是過去高雄最熱鬧的地區。繁榮不比往，因為市中心區和港口工業發展，遷移到高雄市其他地區。

The opening of the harbor to the public, construction of the MRT Yanchengpu Station and development of high quality cultural sites and hardware have seemed to bring the old Yancheng District back to life.
隨著港區開放、捷運建設、優質的文化景點和硬體建設，讓古老的鹽埕區恢復生氣。

Yanchengpu Station is one station away from Sizi-hwan Bay Station. After coming out of Yanchengpu Station, it's quite a treat to take your time to walk around and explore some tasty local dishes and then head to Sizi-hwan Bay Station.
鹽埕埔站距離西子灣站只有一站距離。你在鹽埕站走出捷運，慢慢散步看看這個地區，吃吃小吃，一路走到西子灣站，非常享受。

Da-gou-ding Aloha Braised Dishes

大溝頂阿囉哈滷味

There are many snack shops around here. One of the best-known shops is the 60-year-old Da-gou-ding Aloha Braised Dishes, located on No. 154 Da-ren Road.
這裡有很多小吃。最有名一家，是有60年歷史的大溝頂阿囉哈滷味，位在大仁路154號。

There is another braised dish shop next to it, opened by the same family. The food selections are very similar. We went to Da-gou-ding Aloha Braised Dishes and got ourselves some chicken drumsticks and marinated tofu. The marinated tofu is a unique recipe. The fried tofu skin is shredded before being stewed. The dish tastes delicious and rich.
旁邊也有一家，是同家族的人開設。賣的東西類似。我們選擇在大溝頂阿囉哈滷味，挑了雞腿和蘭花干。蘭花干很特別。豆皮油炸切成細絲再滷。吃起來好吃又味道濃郁。

Popo Shaved Ice

婆婆冰

There is the Popo Shaved Ice with whom many stores share the same name. We went to the one located on No. 135 Qi-xian 3rd Road and ordered their signature shaved ice with their proprietary toppings. The toppings are typical of what you see in the shaved ice.
也有一家婆婆冰，有好幾家店和它的店名一樣。我們選的是七賢三路135號，點了招牌剉冰，剉冰加上他們的自制配料。配料是一般剉冰常見。

For example, the marinated pineapples and starfruits are made so tender that you can hardly recognize the types of fruit that they are. The shaved ice is softened by the sprinkled syrup, making their signature shaved ice taste unique.
例如醃鳳梨和楊桃，熬製得特別軟，幾乎分辨不出來它們的果樣。剉冰因上面淋糖漿而吃起來相當綿軟, 使的他們的招牌剉冰口味獨樹一格。
