The Kaohsiung Gushan Fish Market reopened in October two years ago after renovation, but recent observations show that half of the stalls are closed on holidays, the restaurant seating area is empty, and foot traffic has significantly decreased. Despite plans for a well-known coffee chain to move in, locals find the market lacking in character, activities, and parking spaces, resulting in the decision by the Kaohsiung City Government to terminate the contract with the original operator and seek new tenants through investment opportunities. The market's situation has fluctuated significantly since its grand reopening in October 2022, with a decline in operational efficiency in September 2023 leading to temporary closure for renovations in December 2023. The area now awaits a new management team to revitalize the market. Issues such as lack of unique offerings, limited activities, and inadequate parking lots have been cited by locals and international visitors alike.
