Qihou Fort

One of the most impressive landmarks in Kaohsiung to us. The fort was somehow well preserved and offered a great view, not only to Cijin island, but also the city downtown. Free admission to everyone and a short steep walk from the carpark was required.

Is just a interesting place after knowing the history of the building... Not a must go area but is just walking distance from the lighthouse....so might as well just take a slow walk there...

Great views, especially when the cruise ships are entering our leaving the harbor.

From the Kaohsiung light house, there is a route that will take you to Qihou Fort because it's literally just a round about (so that no need to go down and go back up again) but we didn't proceed because it looked scary, the kind like you can get kidnapped because it's in the middle of the mountains. Also, there was no one else taking that route For both the Kaohsiung light house and Qihou Fort, nothing special in my opinion, can skip altogether

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 views of Cijin Island! Only a short hike up but no shade if it’s sunny. No amenities at the fort. Explore carefully as there are no rails. Free admission.

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.

Amazing spot overlooking the South China Sea. We hired and electric bicycle cart that seated about 4 people and rode down to the fort. You have to walk along the old fort itself, which is nicer anyway. The sea is very rough and there are some locations that are off limits because people have been swept away by waves in the past.
