[2025 Kaohsiung Attraction] Travel Guide for Cijin Tunnel (Updated Jul)

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck Qijin Island is a small island that is like a resort island for relaxing from the big city. It is only 11 kilometers long. 🌊 In one day, you can travel around the island. A popular activity is to rent a bicycle or scooter to travel around the island. There will be a shortcut along the beach. To see various landmarks such as - Kaohsiung (Cihou) Lighthouse, a lighthouse on the top of the mountain, over 100 years old, has a beautiful photo corner. From above, you can see the sea, buildings, and the air is very good. There is a coffee shop for us to sit and enjoy the view. - Qijin Beach, a wide beach, the sand here is fine and black. The sea breeze + evening atmosphere is the best. - Cijin Tunnel - Coral Reef Cliff In fact, there are windmills, giant clams, and many more on the island. I recommend coming in the afternoon and staying until the evening to get a full view of all the landmarks. As for us, we only got to see some of them. We will have to go back again because the atmosphere is very good. How to get there 🏝️ Ⓜ️MRT Orange Line Cianjin Station, get off at Hamasen Station, Exit 1, and walk to the pier. To take the ferry to Cijin Island There will be a ferry from 05:00-02:00. The frequency of departures varies depending on the time. The ferry fare is 30 TWD and it takes about 5-10 minutes. 🚲 Traveling on the island For convenience, it is recommended to rent an electric bicycle, which is an electric 4-wheeled bicycle that can seat 4 people for 600 TWD per hour. It is easy to drive, but you have to be careful. 📍Cijin Island Kaohsiung #TravelAbroad #TravelIsland #TravelTaiwan #TaiwanAttractions

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 It turns out that the so-called secret place is a tourist attraction with huge crowds of people. This is an ancient tunnel dug during the Japanese occupation era that penetrates the Cihou Mountain. It was originally a military combat readiness tunnel. After renovation and reconstruction in 2005, it was opened up as the Starlight Tunnel for tourists and cyclists to use, and became a signature attraction on the "Cijin Island Seaview Sightseeing Bicycle Path". In fact, the route leading to the Starry Sky Tunnel is very narrow and not easy to find, but after arriving at the archway of the Starry Sky Tunnel, the place is full of tourists. You will find that there are more foreign tourists here than local tourists, making you think you are in the Philippines. The murals inside the tunnel have also changed over the years from the twelve zodiac themes to the current marine life-themed murals, combined with lighting effects, which greatly enhances the atmosphere of the entire tunnel. The entire tunnel is about 100 meters long. After entering from the entrance and reaching the exit, you will see a completely different scene. The blue sky, the vast sea, the sea view and the mountain view overlap to form a beautiful and moving scenery. There is a stone tablet on the right side of the exit, which introduces a foreigner named Dr. Ya'akov Ma, a pioneer of modern Western medicine in Taiwan. Walking along the wooden boardwalk along the beach, the sand on one side is full of cacti, and the cacti are full of purple-red cactus flowers. I remember eating cactus ice in Penghu before. It tasted sweet and sour and was very delicious. Of course, after the secret place is introduced by the public and online media, people will flock to explore the scenic spot. However, when traveling, do not graffiti on the walls or trees to avoid leaving a bad impression on others. (20201220)

This 2-day, 1-night trip wasn't enough to explore everything. The transportation is convenient, making it perfect for a relaxing stroll and sightseeing. 📍The tourist spots are close to each other. You can take the light rail, the green line, to tour around Kaohsiung. Every station offers plenty of activities, including eating, sightseeing, and shopping. ⛴️🛳️🚢 The ferry to Cijin Island is convenient, taking about 10 minutes. I recommend spending 3 days in Kaohsiung for a worthwhile trip.

#2月好去地方2025 Returning to Cijin Kaohsiung is so beautiful😻 - It’s been 2019 since I came to Cijin. I totally forgot that there are so many beautiful attractions here.

2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣5️⃣Slow Tour of Kaohsiung, Taiwan for 4 days and 3 nights DAY3️⃣ One-day tour in Cijin About 6 minutes’ walk from Hamashing Station, we arrived at Gushan Ferry Station and took the ferry to Cijin Ferry Station.

After arriving, we rented a four-person electric bicycle for sightseeing. ➡️Attractions: Windmill Park Our first stop was to the farthest "Windmill Park". We lost the bicycle path after walking down the road and had to walk out onto the road.

We ordered a cup of ice cream and chose the three-color ball so that we can try more flavors. The longan has a light sweetness and fruity aroma, the sour plum is sour and sweet, and it is refreshing enough. The classic milk is the most delicious, with a strong milky flavor. We also tried the old-fashioned "pineapple ice cake". ➡️Attractions: Cijin Shell Museum The Cijin Shell Museum displays a wide variety of shells, ranging from small and exquisite to huge and spectacular, which will open your eyes. ➡️Attractions: Star Tunnel A romantic tunnel decorated with a large number of LED lights, creating a beautiful scene like a starry sky.

If you're visiting Kaohsiung, we highly recommend a 1-day trip to Cijin Island. This charming small island is filled with nature, the sea, history, and local cuisine. It offers a relaxing atmosphere with a cool sea breeze, making it a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. There are several must-visit photo spots and checkpoints, including century-old forts, modern art installations, and scenic seaside cycling paths. Here are some highlights: - Cihou Fort and Qijin Lighthouse – Enjoy panoramic views of the sea and Kaohsiung city from above. - Tunnel of Stars – An old stone tunnel beautifully lit with decorative lights. - Shell Museum and Rainbow Church – Stunning spots for photography. - Cijin Old Street – Packed with fresh grilled seafood and local snacks. We recommend renting an electric bike (2-wheel or 4-wheel) to explore the island fully and conveniently. If you stay until evening, you can enjoy a romantic sunset view, adding a special touch to your trip. 🚲 Transportation and getting around the island: • From Sizihwan MRT Station (O1) or Hamasen Light Rail Station (C14), walk to Gushan Ferry Pier to take the ferry to Cijin. • Cijin Ferry fare: 30 TWD.

Cijin Island is easily accessible by ferry from Pier-2 Art Center, taking about 10-15 minutes. On the island, you can explore the old street, beach, Star Tunnel, lighthouse, and more. If you, like us, find the weather too hot and prefer not to rent a bike, start by strolling through the old street after getting off the ferry. Afterward, take a leisurely walk along the beach trail (we walked up to the Gate of Love and then headed back—it was really hot, and there are sculptures further down the beach that you don't necessarily need to check out one by one). Then, head to the Star Tunnel and continue to the lighthouse for a panoramic view of the colorful houses, which are especially stunning and reminiscent of Busan. Tips: - It's recommended to visit in the afternoon to avoid the scorching midday heat and catch the most beautiful sunset. - For those who love taking photos, wear bright-colored outfits to better match the vibrant colors of the island. - Visiting Cijin is not just about enjoying the sea; it's also about falling in love with its "colors." Transportation: Take the Kaohsiung MRT to Hamasen Station. If you're coming from Kaohsiung High-Speed Rail Station, you'll need to transfer once, which takes about half an hour. From Exit 1 of the MRT, follow the signs and walk for 7-8 minutes to Gushan Ferry Terminal. Swipe your card for a fare of 20 TWD, and you'll reach Cijin Island in just 5 minutes.

When visiting Cijin in Kaohsiung, don't just stick to the Cijin Old Street for seafood or the Cijin Beach. Take a bus to a café on Shoushan (Monkey Mountain) ☕️ to enjoy the ocean view, savor waffles, and sip coffee! You can also get a panoramic view of Kaohsiung Harbor and the 85 Sky Tower—it's truly spectacular! The café mainly serves light meals, and while the prices are on the higher side, it's absolutely worth it. The combination of the ocean view and the sunset is breathtaking. It's recommended to visit on weekdays for a better chance at securing a good spot! 🕰️ Business Hours: 1:30 PM - 5:30 PM 📍 Address: No. 91-1, Chai Mountain Road, Gushan District, Kaohsiung City, 804 💰 Average Spending: 200-400 TWD per person 🚴 Transportation: Take a direct bus from Yanchengpu MRT Station.

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 The Starry Sky Tunnel was originally a military preparedness tunnel. Now with the addition of different underwater murals and small light bulbs of different colors, it has become a must-see attraction in Tianjin. After passing through the starry sky tunnel, you will arrive at Cijin Bay Gorge. Here you can fully appreciate the beauty of the waves hitting the steep rock walls. 📍 Address: No. 255, Qijin 2nd Road, Qijin District, Kaohsiung City #Kaohsiung Attractions #Cijin Starry Sky Tunnel #Xiaozhen's Travels

One of the characteristic attractions in Cijin, it is just a matter of walking along the beach of Cijin Park. The murals inside are themed on marine life and decorated with lights. They look fantastic and lifelike in bright colors. It was late when I went there, so there were not many people. It was very quiet standing in the middle of the tunnel, and you could hear the echo of the sea outside. At the other end of the tunnel is a vast sea view, and the waves next to it beat against the towering rock walls, which is very shocking. It is recommended to come in the evening, the scenery will be more beautiful. #MarchGoodPlaces2025 #Kaohsiung #Cijin #CijinStarTunnel

After a recent trip to Taiwan, I decided to try booking flights and renting a car on Trip.com and found the whole process very convenient! First, I booked my flight from Hong Kong to Kaohsiung on Trip.com, which was simple to operate, transparent prices, and instant confirmation emails. After landing, I stayed in Kaohsiung for three days and three nights, wandering around and feeling the unique charm of the city. In Kaohsiung, I visited many famous attractions, including the Bok-2 Art Zone, where I admired a range of cultural and creative installations and street art, and to Lotus Pond, the lakeside views are very beautiful and still worth a visit. One of the meals I went to Taiwan's very famous Ding Tai Fung, it was my first time in Taiwan to try, ordered small steamed buns and other dim sum, thin skin and beautiful filling, as expected, really delicious and worth eating again. At night, of course, there is no shortage of Liuhe Sightseeing Night Market and Ruifeng Night Market. Both night markets have their own characteristics. Ruifeng Night Market is larger, more crowded, and has a wide range of food choices. It is simply a food paradise. We also went to Kaohsiung Lighthouse to enjoy the beautiful scenery. The view is vast and refreshing. During the trip, I also took a car to Kenting and visited the beautiful Longpan Park, the sea and sky are the same color, super relaxing! After that, I took the high-speed train from Kaohsiung to Taichung, rented a car through Trip.com, and chose the full insurance plan to drive to Sun Moon Lake for a more peace of mind. Although it was a cloudy day, the temperature was cool and there was haze surrounding the lake, which was quiet and beautiful. The itinerary included the Wenwu Temple, the Xiangshan Visitor Center, and the Xuanzang Temple, however we didn’t stay too long because of the tight schedule, and we drove back to Taichung when we were done. Finally, we stayed at a hot spring hotel in Uri City near Taichung for a night and enjoyed a quiet night soaking in the hot springs. The entire trip, from booking tickets to renting a car, was handled by Trip.com. If I go again next time, I will definitely use Trip.com again!

#KaohsiungTravel #November Good Places 2024 #Register November Hotel Test Sleeper #100 Ways to Travel #Taiwan Local Tour #Taiwan Travel Walk into this beautiful starry sky tunnel and feel the 10 different themed light and shadow animations. As soon as I walked in, it was like entering the embrace of the bright starry sky. The Starry Sky Tunnel is 88 meters long and was excavated during the Japanese occupation. It was originally a military combat readiness tunnel. It was renovated and opened as the Starry Sky Tunnel after 2005, and a new bicycle canyon was set up for tourists to use. The tunnel is adorned with countless flashing lights, like stars from the universe beating before your eyes, making every step feel like you’re stepping on a galaxy. Not only that, the end of the tunnel is also connected to the magnificent coastline. You walk to the end under the company of stars, and the beautiful scenery of the sea and sky immediately makes you feel refreshed. It is a great enjoyment of life! Parent-child trips, couples dates, selfies, this is definitely a fantastic place that will surprise you 🚀✨🌟 📍Address: Lane 1, Miaoqian Road, Qijin District, Kaohsiung City Opening Hours: Open 24 hours Monday to Sunday The tunnel lighting time is: Monday to Sunday 05am ~ evening

#winhkflight Address: Lane 1, Miaoqian Rd, Qijin District, Kaohsiung City, Taiwan 805. Highlights: Colin Star Tunnel is not very long, and it literally only took approximately 10 mins to walk through it. This is a wartime tunnel used by the Japanese. The tunnel is small with lightning on it and the walls of the tunnel are craved by tourists which unfortunately destroyed the finishing of the walls Once you’ve made your way through the tunnel, which runs through Cihou Mountian, you’ll be surprised with unparalleled views as the road opens up to huge boulders and crashing waves. I love this part of the ocean because the waves are so tumultuous; you can hear them clashing and it is so glorious, especially on a cloudy day with rain. I would want to travel to Hong Kong because the opportunity to relax and unwind amidst Hong Kong's serene nature sounds like a perfect escape. #Taiwan #awesomepic #Kaohsiung

We went to Kaohsiung Xiziwan and Cijin in one day, we also took the light rail that has only been done in recent years, it is worth noting that the light rail, he has to press the door button himself, and then open the door, before boarding or in the car can take the leisure card. There is no need to shoot when you get off the bus. This is worth paying attention to. It won't be like you have to swipe your card to get on and off the bus in Taipei. Then get off at Xiziwan, walk over to Cijin to take the ferry, along the way you can pass different shops to see or go to eat and then take the ferry over to Cijin. There are more ferries so don't worry too much about getting home and of course walking the beach, lots of people. We were looking for a spot to take pictures around, there were many stalls near the beach buying barbecue, I noticed that Taiwan’s chicken heart and chicken kidney were delicious, and there were plenty of portions to replenish the offal I hadn’t eaten in years. The seasoning powder is quite tasty and very fragrant. Recently, air tickets are constantly being discounted. If you have time, you might as well come to Kaohsiung for a walk. Kaohsiung Airport to the city is 20 minutes to 30 minutes away, quite close. Can play until almost the time before going to the airport. #Cijin Old Street #Cijin Food #Kaohsiung Food #Taiwan Customs Clearance #Taiwan Food
