ELIZA AT CIJIN (Qi Jin) JULY 24th 2016 小莉菲在旗津
We live in Kaohsiung city, Taiwan. There's an island just in front of Kaohsiung called Cijin (Qi Jin) which is at 5 minutes by ferry. We often go to this island, but this time we decided to rent a 4 wheel electric bike to wander around with our daughter.Cijin District (Chinese: 旗津區; Hanyu Pinyin: Qíjīn Qū) is a district of Kaohsiung City, Taiwan, covering Cijin Island. It is the second smallest district in Kaohsiung City after Yancheng District.
Cijin Island was once connected to the mainland at the southern tip, but in 1967, this link was severed to create a second entry point to the Port of Kaohsiung.
Most of its residents are employed by the shipping industry. There is a park on the north western shore.
The Cross Harbor Tunnel (Chinese: 過港隧道) connects Cijin Island at the EBC[clarification needed] tip to the rest of Kaohsiung on mainland Taiwan. Cijin District is also accessible by two ferries at the northern tip and middle of the island.
Cijin Island Kaohsiung is a small island just a 5 minute ferry (Cijin Ferry) journey from Kaohsiung Harbour (it is also reachable by car from a bridge further down). It’s a very exciting place to visit with lots to do and see. Cijin Island is reputed to be the best place to eat fresh seafood in Kaohsiung. As well as the attractions and food, the island offers a nice clean beach where the sea is lovely and warm for swimming. There is an excitement about Cijin Kaohsiung that makes it a tourist attraction worth repeating.
Some of the attractions within the island are: Tianhou Temple & Cihou, Cihou Lighthouse, Cihou Fort, Cijin Seashore Park, Windpower Park, and the YM Museum of Maritime Exploration.
