Chichin Island. It's a little island off shore of Kaohsiung harbor where locals would go to have seafood and take a walk on the beach.
You get to take a ferryboat to get there!! It's fun!! You can also get your motorcycles or bikes on too. Also, there are lots of seafood eateries where you can choose your favorite seafood from the fish tank (alive and kicking!!) and tell the cook how you would like to have it. I love it!!! Leave a Comment Directions: Let me figure out the address and direction first...I'll fix this later. You can drive through the tunnel to get there too.

Probably the best view of the city of Kaohsiung is from the 74th floor observation deck of the Kaohsiung 85 Tower (Tuntex Skyscraper). For an inexpensive NT 100 (compared to NT 350 for Taipei 101), you can take a modestly fast elevator for about 1 minute up 75 floors, where you come out at a bar/lounge. Descend the staircase to the observation area, which offers views west, north, and east; the view to the south is blocked off. The observation deck is rarely visited (at least when I was there. But that was an overcast day); I stayed there for an hour and at times I had the entire floor to myself. The amenities here are not as expanded as Taipei 101; there is no gift shop, no mass damper to see. There are also no labels/plaques of the view.
Some notable features visible from the tower are the Kaohsiung Harbor, Love River, and Chengcing Lake. Leave a Comment Directions: Center of Kaohsiung; visible from almost anywhere.

Two pagodas side by side on the banks of the Tsuoying Lotus Pond. You enter through the dragon's mouth and exit via the lion's. This is suppose to symbolise the changing of bad luck to good luck. Inside are paintings of China's 24 most obedient sons showing scenes of heaven and hell. This is to try and inspire people to do good deeds during their life on earth. For those who don't there are threatening examples of retribution for wrong doing. Leave a Comment Address: Lotus Pond, Tsuoying

Not a bad place to take an evening stroll in Kaohsuing, especially when they've got it all decorated up for the Lantern Festival Holiday...
Seems Kaohsiung has made some effort to clean this area up a bit over the past few years... Leave a Comment

The top floor of Kaohsiung's immense Dream Mall has a small amusement park, including a Hello Kitty-based Ferris Wheel that offers a spectacular view over the city of Kaohsiung. The 15-minute ride costs NT 150. I happened to catch the sunset during my ride on the Ferris Wheel, making it a very notable experience. Views extend in all directions, including the Kaohsiung 85 Tower and many other of Kaohsiung's high rises and nearby mountains. You can also see Kaohsiung's Harbor, the busiest in Taiwan. Leave a Comment Directions: Top Floor of Dream Mall, south of downtown Kaohsiung.

True Love Pier (Jin-ai Matou) (真愛碼ƅ57;) is at the southern end of Love River. This is a rather interesting place; you can board the short boat rides on the river here (though not if its raining). There's also a pedestrian bridge here that crosses the Love River. From the bridge, you get views of the pier, the Tuntex Skyscraper, and much of the rest of the Kaohsiung skyline; you can even see the port of Kaohsiung.

It is a island that worthwhile to expense a half day there, it get some busy street, but also you can walk away from the crowd and see the Lighthouse.
Chichin is a long, narrow island that forms a natural breakwater protecting Kaohsiung Harbor. This small but scenic island features a 300-year-old Tienhou Temple, devoted to Matsu, Goddess of the Sea, which is designated as a third-grade national historic site. Chichin is also the only place in Taiwan where you can still ride a three-wheel Pedicab powered by man in traditional Chinese costume. Yet another favorite attraction here is fresh, delicious and reasonably price seafood.
In fact, I take nap under tree there and feel complete refresh for another walk :-)
The light house is designed by John Reginald Harding, and it was built at 1883
Height - 15.2 m, and light distance is 25.2 mile! Leave a Comment Address: Just at the peak of the island
