Cihou Fort

Kaohsiung


A handsome modern fort with Qing dynasty foundations that used to guard the northern entrance to Kaohsiung Harbour. From the top of the barracks and the emplacements, you can see the harbour on one side and the cityscape on the other. It's a hugely photogenic place at sunset. The fort sits atop a small cliff from the lighthouse to which it is connected by a short path.
