    The Kaohsiung British Consulate is located on the Cijin Peninsula in Gushan District, Kaohsiung City. It was built in 1865 and was the British diplomatic mission in Taiwan at that time. The building style of the consulate is a Western classical building with historical significance. Today, after restoration and reconstruction, it has become a museum that displays the history and culture of Britain in Taiwan. Visitors can visit the historical exhibitions of the consulate, enjoy the beautiful harbor views, and learn about the diplomatic and trade activities at that time. This is an important cultural and historical attraction in Kaohsiung.

    Suzuka Circuit Park in Kaohsiung was fantastic! We had a great time exploring all the rides and attractions. The park was clean, well-maintained, and offered fun experiences for both kids and adults. Staff members were friendly and helpful. The racing-themed activities added excitement and made our visit memorable. Definitely recommend it for families or anyone looking for a fun-filled day!

    A large-scale stadium in Kaohsiung was built for the 2009 World Games. The stadium looks like a winding dragon. The environment around the stadium is also good, like a big park!

    The park facilities are relatively old, and the children's theater is highly interactive. It is suitable for children under 9 years old. It is recommended to leave the park and eat at the outlet restaurant in the park. There are more choices, and the food in the park is not very delicious.

    We visited on October 3, 2012. Liuhe Night Market is Kaohsiung's most iconic night market. Even though we were only in Kaohsiung for a quick nap, we still made time to visit and even booked a hotel nearby. As Taiwan's second-largest night market, Liuhe Night Market naturally offers a wide variety of snacks, desserts, cold drinks, and more—foodies will definitely want to enjoy it. The night market is very close to Formosa Boulevard and is open from 6 pm to 2 am, so you can skip dinner and head straight in with an empty stomach.

    Second time to Kao Hsiung Arena. This place is a must visit whether you are here for an event or not. There’s a big mall connected to the arena as well. Truly a magnificent building!

    Cijin Painted Houses - Climbing to the highest point, the Cihou Lighthouse, you'll feel like you're on the island of Burano in Venice, the Greek island of Symi in the Aegean Sea, or visiting the Gamcheon Culture Village in Busan, South Korea. From the trail, you'll see a sea of vibrantly painted houses, radiating an exotic atmosphere against a backdrop of blue skies and white clouds.
