Day 3 started with breakfast in Kenting hostel before we check out and do out laundry. We separated to two team, one heading to Kaohsiung and the other one going to the east part of Taiwan. We rented the same van to Kaohsiung from WuDage that costs us TWD300/person who dropped us right in front of 85 Building 85大廈.
Before we leave we took a group picture at the entrance of the hostel and also with WuDage.
Our stayed in Kaohsiung was at 85新宿(85XinSu) inside of 85 Building. We booked two room, one with seaside view named Riviera and one with normal view room named Edinburgh.
There are various hostel inside 85 building. The same floor will have room from different hostel. Every hostel provide room with different theme and view.
There are more room type on their website. The room can be book using LINE (by scanning the QR code) or email or online booking. The online booking site is in Chinese Traditional. If you wish to see sunset it is better to book room at higher floor. The view of our room is partially blocked by the opposite building.
You have to get to two elevator to reach the hostel room. First took the elevator to 12th floor where you can find the different hostel here and also 7 eleven. The hostel will provide an access card to enter the second elevator that brings you to 13th floor onwards.

As you can see from their name, their signature dish is the Ravioli (餛飩) noodles. The dumpling was delicious and very filling. Noodles are just normal. The dumpling (小籠包）can be skipped as it is not juicy and the dumpling wrap is thick. We ordered 4 bowls of noodles and one dumpling with drinks that costs around TWD605in total for 6 person.
