2025 Cijin District Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

💞Recommended Reasons: The beauty of Kaohsiung Harbor rivals the blue seas of Taiwan's eastern coast! Spend a relaxing and chill summer weekend here with family and friends. Start your journey at the Rainbow House near the Gushan Ferry Terminal (📍Address: Search for "Xinbin Town Ocean Kitchen"—the spot is located on the left side of the parking lot). The vibrant scenery here feels like a mix of Keelung Harbor and a charming corner of Europe. It's colorful, lively, and perfect for photos! Next, head to the Qijin District near the Shell Museum. This area boasts stunning ocean views, with people leisurely riding bicycles or multi-person pedal bikes with canopies. Nearby, you'll find a Bohemian-style casual dining restaurant called "Sea Star Beach Club" (🕰️Hours: Daily 11:00 AM–8:00 PM). They serve a mix of Chinese and Italian dishes, desserts, and drinks. Being close to the seaside, you can enjoy the air conditioning, delicious food, and breathtaking views of the blue sky and ocean—what a treat! Take some Instagram-worthy photos during your break. There's also an outdoor seating area for closer views, though it might be too hot to sit outside during summer. After a satisfying meal and some rest, it's time to get moving! The next stop is Kaohsiung Lighthouse. Spend 10–20 minutes climbing up to the lighthouse area, where you'll be rewarded with panoramic views of Kaohsiung Harbor, bustling ships, and the iconic 85 Sky Tower. The colorful village nearby resembles Busan's Rainbow Village, showcasing Kaohsiung's creativity and romantic charm. While the climb can be tiring, there are spots to sit and rest at the top, including a café where you can enjoy snacks and drinks while taking in the scenery. Visiting before sunset might even let you witness the harbor bathed in golden hues—truly mesmerizing! For a leisurely and beautiful getaway, I wholeheartedly recommend exploring this area for a relaxing and memorable 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. It was worth renting an electric bicycle for a two-hour trip. By the way, the weather was really hot, which is very different from Taipei! Let's share a half-day tour of Cijin with a bike to the end 🚢Take a boat at Cijin Ferry Station Rent a bicycle for two hours for 500 yuan 1️⃣Kaohsiung Lighthouse The houses in the Rainbow Village are very beautiful when overlooked 2️⃣Cijin Starry Sky Tunnel You can also see the sea view when you walk out of the painted tunnel 3️⃣Cijin Rainbow Church I really forgot about this attraction after it became popular in 2019. I miss it so much this time. Many people will come here to take wedding photos 4️⃣Double Spiral Platform The spiral-shaped 🪽 makes people think of asking the magical conch😆 5️⃣Cijin Shell Museum Super huge shell decoration art, it is really spectacular to see it in person - You can walk around Cijin Old Street when you return. I personally think it is just so-so. You can return to the port to eat ice cream to end it. The above is the last time I went to see Jiyi Kawa to extend the Cijin trip! - #Cijin #Kaohsiung Attractions #Cijin Rainbow Church #Cijin Starry Sky Tunnel #Cijin Beach #Cijin Lighthouse #Kaohsiung Lighthouse #Kaohsiung Travel

When talking about beaches in Taiwan, many people think of Kenting. However, Kaohsiung's Cijin Beach is also definitely worth a visit. First of all, the crowd is much smaller compared to Kenting. You can keep a distance from others, walk romantically along the beach with your partner, and always find a spot to sunbathe and swim without being crowded. Alternatively, you can go early in the morning to avoid the crowds. Consider it for your next trip.

When it comes to Salt and Salt District, the one that people know the most is the Tuk-2 Special Administrative Region! It's only two stops by light rail from Salt Cheng District to Hama Star Pier. Be sure to add it to your itinerary next time you come! My mom and I can drive our motorcycles straight onto the boat, super special! At least in Hong Kong is not 😎 Every time I go, I think it's so cool, driving on the boat and driving off the boat😂 If you are not a self-drive tour, do not worry! Tourists recommend borrowing the driver's license-free tram when they go to Qijin After lunch from the main street, we drove into the beach to take pictures with the big shells, and finally went back to the pier to watch the sunset, and then took the boat back to Hama Star😎 The sunset in Cijin is really amazing! ! #playful traveler #Taiwan #Kaohsiung #Qijin

Most tourists can take a ferry from Gushan Pier to Cijin, and the journey only takes 5 minutes. ⭕️Qijin Beach: There is an arc-shaped coastline stretching for several kilometers, with a black sand beach with fine sand. Perfect for watching the sunset. The setting sun shines obliquely, and colorful clouds dye the entire sky. ⭕️Qihou Fort: The fort ruins located on Qihou Mountain in Cijin District, Kaohsiung, have been a Class II historic site in Taiwan since 1985. It was once a military stronghold guarding Kaohsiung Port. The Qihou Battery adopts a combination of Chinese and Western designs. ⭕️Cijin Tianhou Temple: Mainly dedicated to Mazu, local people also call it Mazu Temple or Mazu Palace.

A friend brought me sweet potato crisps from this shop when he came to Cijin before. I thought they were delicious, so this time I bought some too. They are cheap, only 100 yuan for a big bag. There are different flavors of sweet potato and taro crisps, and you can buy them according to your preferences. I always buy the sweet ones 👍🏻, they are super delicious, highly recommended❗️ #localtourism #foodie

#JulyTravelSupport When you get off the ferry, you will see Cijin Island, where time seems to pass slowly. This place is a treasure trove where you can get a glimpse of the real Kaohsiung life, with more locals than tourists. 🚶♀️ Follow the scent of the temple Cijin has small and cozy Taoist temples hidden in the alleys and alleys, with a faint scent of incense. When you pass through the entrance with gorgeous dragon sculptures and hanging lanterns, you can feel the traditional scent even stronger in the sea breeze. • Representative temple: Cijin Tianhou Temple (旗津天后宮) - This place, which worships the goddess of the sea, Mazu, is said to be a place of spiritual rest for local fishermen. #TaiwanTravel #PlacesToVisitInTaiwan #KaohsiungTravel 🍡 Recommended Snack Restaurants There are local snack shops lined up in the alleys in front of the temple or near the ferry dock. Just looking at these snacks will make your mouth water! • Grilled Squid: Sweet and salty seasoned, perfect for a bite before a walk along the beach. • King Prawn Tempura: Plump shrimps in crispy batter!

Every time I visit Kaohsiung, I love staying around the Pier-2 area. It encapsulates the traditional delicacies of Yancheng and Hamasen, as well as stunning scenery. Let’s talk about the most beautiful sunset first. In the evening, head to Banana Pier and Pier-2 Warehouse for a stroll. Here, you’ll find beer restaurants and places to grab a hand-shaken drink. In the outdoor area, you can quietly enjoy the sunset as it casts its golden glow over the harbor, beautifully reflecting off the large ships. Nearby, you can also visit the carousel and small Ferris wheel to capture memorable moments. Here’s my personal itinerary: After enjoying brunch in Yancheng, I like to wander around and take photos at the Pier-2 Art Center. Then, I take the ferry to Qijin. Whether it’s walking on the black sand beach, soaking up the sun, visiting the Qijin Mazu Temple, snapping photos at the Rainbow Church, exploring Qijin Old Street for seafood, or tasting the famous swordfish fish cake, there’s plenty to do until around 4 or 5 PM. Afterward, I take the ferry back to Pier-2 Warehouse, grab a drink or enjoy some mango shaved ice while waiting for the sunset. It’s a perfect moment to appreciate the beauty of the harbor city. For dinner, I head to Yancheng to savor local delicacies like Duck Meat Zhen, Zheng Family Noodles, Cai’s Third-Generation Rice Cake, or the famous Southern-style rice dumplings. Alternatively, I might opt for a gastropub to enjoy a delightful dinner. Finally, I take a leisurely walk to Dagang Bridge to experience the dazzling lights as night falls, with a view of the Kaohsiung Music Center’s nightscape. To wrap up the day, I visit Dagang Warehouse to shop and explore, soaking in the charm of revitalized old warehouses. 📍Address: No. 17, Penglai Road, Gushan District, Kaohsiung City 804 🚗 Take the light rail to Pier-2 Penglai Station, then walk for three minutes.

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.

#0円旅February2025 It takes less than an hour to get from Kaohsiung International Airport to Lotus Pond by MRT. The exterior of the Dragon and Tiger Tower has been renovated and is beautiful and impressive. The Dome of Light at Formosa Boulevard Station is a wonderful work by the Italian Narcissus. If you change to the Orange Line here and go to Sizihwan Station (Hamasei), you can take a ferry to Cijin Island. There are many street stalls where you can enjoy Taiwanese cuisine. The views of Cihou Fort and the lighthouse are also great. The strawberry shaved ice at Youma Bingpu was delicious. Ruifeng Night Market is packed with people, and the narrow passages are crowded, making it a festival every day. It's great that you can use the EasyCard to ride the MRT, LRT, buses, and even the ferry. You can enjoy art and gourmet food in just one day.

In the morning, you can see many motorcyclists queuing up to board the boat to go to work. Ubikes can also board the boat. The boat ride is quite stable, but the sunshine in Kaohsiung makes people feel lazy~ 🕰️Opening hours: 24 hours 📍Address: Cijin Fishing Port, Old Street 💰Average consumption per person: 50-150 yuan There are few stalls open in the old street on weekdays, but it is more lively on holidays

Cijin is really a great place to relax your body, mind and soul! Take a ferry from Kaohsiung, rent an electric bicycle, and ride or walk slowly. Along the coastline, with a tripod, you can easily take lots of photos of the beautiful scenery! When you are tired, you can ride back to the main street, find a coffee shop to sit down and rest, have a dessert and drink a cup of coffee before setting off again! It was a pity that the day we visited was cloudy and rainy, otherwise I would have stayed to take pictures of the sunset before leaving. It’s really a great place to spend a whole day!

Kaohsiung Cijin Cijin Peninsula is not very big, but there are many special attractions nearby, which is very suitable for arranging a day trip. It gives people a new experience, such as taking a ferry across the sea, playing in the water and playing in the sand, watching the sunset or just watching the sea quietly, which is very refreshing. Walking along the beach, you can see the vast ocean. The sunshine is very comfortable. It takes about 30 minutes to walk from the pier to the Rainbow Church. Or you can go there by bicycle After a morning of walking, if you feel hungry, you can return to Qijin Old Street to eat seafood and special snacks

#Kaohsiung Attractions Kaohsiung Cijin Seaview Restaurant Recommendation - Star of the Sea Beach Club If you want to spend a leisurely time watching the sunset, I highly recommend this restaurant. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating. The indoor seating is spacious and the decoration is very Japanese style. There are many wooden benches outdoors. You can enjoy a cold drink while looking at the sea view, which is very comfortable. However, the downside is that there are many insects. The lights are turned on at night, which is very romantic. There is a parking lot near the restaurant, so parking is very convenient. There is no time limit. If you want to spend a romantic and comfortable afternoon, come to this restaurant!

Kaohsiung trip Must-try Xiaolong soup packets and beef noodles It is recommended to go to Qijin for a walk Very big, big Lots of snacks, snacks as long as a woman's strip, with drinks and food There are beaches, windmill parks and rainbow churches in Cijin. You can't even walk in a day. There are so many photo spots

This is the famous sunset bar on Cijin Island. I went there because it was famous for its sunset restaurants, and the atmosphere was nice and pretty. If you feel a different kind of hipness from Kaohsiung, I think you should go there. #Kaohsiung #CijinIsland

There is a wide white sand beach here, coupled with the clear blue water, forming a pleasant scene full of holiday style. Many tourists can be seen on the beach from time to time playing in the water, sunbathing and enjoying a leisurely and relaxing seaside time. In addition to the beach itself, the nearby Cijin Peninsula is also a great place to enjoy the scenery.

This Saturday, I went to Taiwan for a few days to visit my little cousin who was studying in Kaohsiung. By the way, I visited Cijin, which I always wanted to go to. I also took my favorite Snoopy ferry. Snoopy and his friends were on the ferry for a photo. Cijin has many attractions, beautiful scenery, and many delicious restaurants. Although I only had half a day to play, I had a lot of fun. It was really worth the trip 😘😘

Qijin ❣️Parent-Child Battery Car❣️ Access: MTR (Xi Zi Wan) ➡️ Gushan Ferry Station On the island, actually prepared to rent a bicycle or the like, but feel a lot less shops, so directly to the ferry station opposite rent a battery car (1 hour 300 Taiwan dollars), family trip is definitely a wise choice, if you want to have a leisurely rental bicycle can, because you can not be so rushed. The owner has given the guide map, but along the bike path all the way to pedal, want to walk the whole bike path is actually very rushed, personally suggest the windmill park actually do not have to go, because it feels actually quite ordinary. Recommend 🔅Cijin's Grilled Small Rolls (Rolled Squid🦑) 🔅Cijin Mango Snowflake Ice 🔅Buy souvenirs at the back of the flag tourist market (discount under R)
