Cihou Fort

Unclaimed

An amazing piece of history that also provides the best view (debatable) of the South China Sea as that's how they kept an eye on the trade ships. You walk up a short hill to the fort and then there are lots of fun stairs to climb. Great view of the city scape and my favorite spot on Cijin. Free entry as well, like all the tourist spots here.

Cihou Fort is a historic fort in the Cijin District of Kaohsiung, Taiwan, which formerly guarded the northern entrance to Kaohsiung Harbor. From the fort, you can enjoy a beautiful view of the South China Sea as well as the Kaohsiung cityscape on the other side.

Well preserved historical site; during the second world war. Entrance to the site is free; but do be aware of the non-railed access. If you are not careful, you may fall from heights. Children to be supervised for safety reason. Not friendly to mobility challenged visitors.

Panoramic 360 degree view of the ocean, the port and the beach. A few mins away from the lighthouse. 20 mins walk from the pier; easy climb and family friendly

Well preserved buildings during WWII era
