🌊 Why Kaohsiung?
Taiwan's second-largest city isn't just a backdrop — it's a statement.

Kaohsiung is a vibrant port city in southern Taiwan, known for its dynamic arts scene, waterfront culture, and warm, open-spirited community. A city that has reinvented itself — from industrial hub to creative, inclusive metropolis.

For APCS, coming to Kaohsiung for the first time feels like a natural next step. Because the conversations we need to have deserve a city that's bold, evolving, and unapologetically welcoming.

We'll see you there.
