Cihou Fort

Glad we went up from the lighthouse side. Although the trail is a bit harder to walk than the fort side slope, but we were able to read the fort history and information exhibited in the lighthouse.nnThe fortress was built in Chinese character eye「目」shape. Originally it had German made battery/ cannons.nnThe front gate is located facing Chijin town with nicely decorated red bricks patten walls, two「囍」 and a half remaining name plate in the front. The other half of the name plate was destroyed by Japanese warship.nnUnfortunately the park management has blocked the front stairs which you would easily miss it.nnBe sure to look for it when you visit it next time.

need abit effort to get up here but for sure it's a nice place to see the sunset, like local people Intentionally go to this fort just for see the sunset

Great overlook from the old ruin! One of the most recommended spots in Kaohsiung!

CiHou Fort was previous canon setting location at CiJin to defend the outside invaders. Due to its highland point, It offers a very nice and pretty views of Kaohsiung hart, sea shoreline to Taiwan strait, CiJin beach and rooftop of CiJin peninsula. Very lucky to watch the sunset at five without hindrances.

very nice placenrecommend to visit here
