Location insights

Where Kaohsiung moves

Kaohsiung is Taiwan's great southern port, and its old harborfront has been remade into the Asia New Bay waterfront of malls, arenas and the Music Center. The Sanduo shopping district beneath the 85 Sky Tower and the Dream Mall, Taiwan's largest, hold the densest retail crowds, while the Dome of Light at Formosa Boulevard Station sits at the crossing of the Red and Orange MRT lines beside the Liuhe Night Market. The Pier-2 Art Center pulls a weekend culture crowd along the light-rail loop, and Zuoying HSR station feeds high-speed travelers from the north. Screens around Sanduo, Dream Mall and the MRT interchanges catch the most repeat and visitor eyes.

Retail plateau, all afternoon

Pier-2 / Yancheng Harborfront and the city's malls hold heavy footfall from noon to evening, long windows where dwell and shopping intent, not rush, do the work.

Evenings change the audience

Sanduo / 85 Sky Tower shifts from daytime to social and tourism after dark. Different audience, same screens, swap the creative, not the location.

Location intelligence summary

One city, several audiences a day

Kaohsiung doesn't have one rush hour; it has rotating audiences sharing the same streets. The only buying model that matches that is hourly: pay for the windows when your audience owns the city, skip the ones when it doesn't.

Match the tide, not the calendar

A month-long 24/7 rotation pays for 3 AM plays nobody sees. Hourly booking concentrates the same budget into Kaohsiung’s proven peak windows, and typically saves 30%+ versus a flat four-week flight.

Creative by daypart

Morning commuters read in 2 seconds; evening crowds dwell for minutes. Run different creative by hour on the same screens, even trigger swaps on weather or live data.

Every play is logged. Blindspot campaigns report verified plays and attribution, measured against control groups, not estimated reach.

No minimums · no contracts · pay per verified play · hourly scheduling per screen

Four things move the price on any Kaohsiung screen: the format (pricing runs higher on MRT & light-rail screens than on sanduo retail spectacular), the zone (Sanduo / 85 Sky Tower carries the highest footfall premium), the daypart (peak commute and evening hours price above the overnight lull), and how far in advance you book, since the busiest zones and formats sell out first.

FAQ

Kaohsiung billboard FAQs

Do I need a permit to advertise on a Kaohsiung billboard?

No. Blindspot books time on screens that are already installed and permitted by their media-owner operators, HohoAD, KanBan Culture, Sovereign Comm among them, so you're leasing airtime on an existing structure, not erecting a new one.

What creative specs do I need for a Kaohsiung screen?

Specs vary by screen: orientation, resolution and file format differ from one panel to the next. Every screen shows its exact requirements in the platform before you upload, so there's no separate spec sheet to track down before you book.

Yes, on Blindspot every Kaohsiung screen is bookable by the hour with no minimum contract, so you can buy only the commute peaks, shopping afternoons, or evening windows that match your audience.

Blindspot aggregates digital out-of-home inventory across Kaohsiung onto one map, roadside and boulevard screens, transit, mall and place-based panels, bookable per play. The wider OOH supply is run by operators such as HohoAD, KanBan Culture, Sovereign Comm.
