🚢 Gushan Ferry Station→Cijin
Take the "Happy Ferry" across the harbor and enjoy a feast for both taste and sight

1️⃣ Food Tour in Cijin Old Street
🍵 50岚 (next to the ferry station): Must order the sugar-free oolong milk tea with mini pearls, with rich tea aroma and chewy pearls, it’s the best choice for cooling off!
🐟 Chang Kee Swordfish Black Round: Made from fresh swordfish paste, it has a wonderful texture of crispy outside and chewy inside, and is even more flavorful when paired with special chili sauce
🍖 Different red meat soup: the red meat alone is amazing! The traditional marinade is fragrant and a little chewy, but the more you chew it, the more delicious it becomes.
🍦 Peanut and coriander ice cream roll: The perfect combination of peanut powder and coriander, the ingredients are more abundant than those in Taipei, you must try it!
(A little bit of regret: the local specialty tomatoes cut into a plate, which will be saved for next time)

⛰️ 15 minutes of gentle walk to arrive

The pure white lighthouse has an excellent view, overlooking the postcard scenery of the Rainbow House and the two-color bay.

3️⃣ Qihou Fort (Sunset Secret Place)
Passing through the century-old military relics, the view is suddenly clear after reaching the top: ocean-going cargo ships cross the golden sea level, the breakwater extends into the depths of the sunset like a giant dragon, and witness the magical moment when the sunset sinks into the Taiwan Strait

🏖️ Relax down the mountain after sunset
4️⃣ Cijin Beach
The sea breeze caresses you at night, and the characteristic bars and cultural and creative shops along the coast light up the night of the harbor.

Carefully selected tuna shipped directly from Pingtung, the most recommended of the three signature sashimi types is the "Medium Fatty" - the fat melts on the tip of the tongue like silk, making it a perfect end to the day trip

postscript:
Kaohsiung's combination of salty and sweet flavors heals the taste buds that were frightened by Tainan's all-sugar culture
Reminder to travelers: Sun protection is essential! The passion of this peninsula is brighter than the sun.
