  • Looking for a nearby escape from Kaohsiung city? Look no further than Kaohsiung's own island, Cijin Island! This Taiwanese island is a delight to explore by cycle and by foot. We found a lighthouse, a fort, some neat art, and a lot of really fun kites. Not to mention more delicious food! (and something truly surprising)

    It's faster/shortcut to the Lighthouse if you just turn right after getting off the ferry. Walk a bit (without the long tunnel journey) & go up those steps to reach the top. From the Lighthouse, it's just a short walk to the Fort which has nothing except walls & empty rooms (?). To go to the beach, just keep to the 7-11 path after getting off the ferry & go through the food stalls.

    the taiwanese bread literally is called "twins" because it's 2 bread stuck together and fried. One of my favorites. Usually it is sold in the winter by vendors who in the summer sell other treats like "frog laying eggs", 青蛙下蛋, which basically are tapioca balls in ice.

    Surrounded by the sea, Taiwan is rich in marine resources and rich in seafood. Seafood has also become one of the must-eat dishes when you come to Taiwan. The city of Kaohsiung is close to the sea, and it is also an important city for seafood delicacies.

    I was born in Kaohsiung and I'm 57 years old, and I will tell you the actual history. Cijin was originally not an island, but a peninsula connected to the "Hongmaogang" at its southern tip. In the 1970s, in order to open the second entrance/exit of Kaohsiung Port, Cijin and "Hongmaogang" were cut off. Today's "Cijin Island" was formed.And now "Hongmaogang" was moved because Kaohsiung Port need more piers.

    What a great day in Kaohsiung. I love hanging out in Kaohsiung, when it's not too hot that is. The bun on the house is called "twins", and it essentially is the Taiwanese donut. I'm not sure if I missed any episodes, but you guys were really close to Caishan, where a short hike would allow you to see a bunch of Taiwanese macaque monkeys.
