Let me give you a brief introduction first. Kaohsiung is a city in the southwest of Taiwan Province, and is a "municipality" of Taiwan. Its scenic spots include Xiaoliuqiu Island , Kenting National Park, Qijin Peninsula, Chengqing Lake, Eluanbi Park, Kaohsiung Port Fisherman's Wharf, Wude Hall and Kaohsiung 85 Building, etc. Due to time issues, we definitely can't visit so many areas, so we set out casually. Too many scenic spots and historical sites are of no interest, and the rural tunes sometimes have a unique flavor.
Entering Taiwan Province requires an entry and exit license.
I don’t know if I need this certificate for regular travelers. As seamen, we should be considered “irregular” tourists! If you want to visit Taiwan, the agent will tell us that we need to apply for an entry and exit permit, and the fee is about 100 yuan. I forgot how much!
first stop, Lianchitan , dragon and tiger double tower, dragon and tiger in and out!
is located on the banks of Lianchi Lake in northern Kaohsiung. There are two densely-eave pagodas
, standing side by side, like a pair of twin brothers.
is named after a dragon and tiger statue erected in front of its tower.
The statue has a sign: enters the dragon's throat and leaves the tiger's mouth, eliminating disasters and reducing disasters and increasing auspiciousness.
Second stop: Lianchi Pond, the Northern Pole Xuantian God
This is the highest water statue in Southeast Asia, located between the Dragon and Tiger Tower of Lianchi Pond and the Confucius Temple . The entire statue is located in Lianchi Pond Taichung . The statue of Xuantian God is quite special: holding a seven-star sword in the right hand, indicating that he is in charge of the seven-star sword in the north, and controlling the power to kill demons; the left hand seal technique, pointing to the sky, is used to acquire the resources of the Xuandi HTML , and stepping on the turtle and snake, showing the deeds of conquering the two generals. There is a legend that it was built by the Jade Emperor. The seven-star sword in is 38 meters long, which is the number one sword in the world.
The third stop: The British Consulate of Beating Dogs Official Residence
The first time I saw this name, I might feel that it has a bit of an insulting meaning, but in fact it doesn't mean this. "Beating Dogs" is a transliteration of the language of the original Taiwanese residents, representing a place, which means that the British Consulate is in the "Beating Dogs".
This is the first consulate formally built by foreigners in Taiwan by the Qing Dynasty. It is an important place for consulates to live and receive guests.
The fourth stop: Sun Yat-sen University in Taiwan
Maybe everyone doesn’t know much about it. In fact, Sun Yat-sen University in Taiwan was founded in Guangzhou in 1924. Later, due to the division of cross-straits, it resumed its school in Taiwan in 1980. His school anniversary date is November 12, the birthday of Mr. Sun Yat-sen. It is a key research university in Taiwan Province. It ranks 410th in the world and 68th in Asia.
If you have enough time, you can go and have a look!
The fifth stop: Liuhe Night Market
This is definitely an indispensable key subject for a foodie, and everyone can draw the key points!
Liuhe Night Market, formerly known as Dagangpu Night Market, is a snack stall gathered in Dagangpu open space. It is ranked among the most representative night market in Kaohsiung. It has now begun to enter the internationally renowned tourist night market.
Its business hours are around 1800-0200.
There are various delicious snacks here, and the variety is dazzling. Among them, large intestine wrapped in small intestine , steamed shrimp in salt, papaya milk, truncated rice cake, stinky tofu, mullet tendon, seafood porridge , fish soup, stewed pork ribs in Shiquan medicine, danzai noodles , earthy fish soup, etc. These should be regarded as the signature features of Kaohsiung City , so if you go, you must have an empty stomach in advance. Don’t miss the deliciousness!
A mountain, a river, a harbor, a bay, eight words , can simply summarize Kaohsiung, delicious snacks, Lianchitan, etc., which is worth discovering. Therefore, sometimes, can take your own steps to satisfy your taste buds!
