Cijin Island is a peninsula located in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan. It's a great spot for a short trip. There are plenty of natural landscapes and cultural arts to enjoy. You can watch the sea, hike, and take photos with many artistic decorations. The food is quite good and cheaper than in Taipei. There's also a market where you can buy seafood as souvenirs, such as dried fish and XO sauce. I find it quite nice.

#weekendgetaways A perfect day trip for a weekend getaway if you are ever in the city of Kaohsiung Getting There - Take the MRT to Sizhiwan Station. Once out of the station, follow the signs that say ferry port which takes you on a 350m walk. The ferry ride takes only 5 minutes to get to the island. Both MRT and ferry ride accepts EasyCard for travel convenience. Attractions - Beaches, Cijin Tunnel of Stars, Lighthouse, Fort Ruins, Food street, Sunset view, Biking Trails, Fishing Spots, Surfing Food & Restaurants - Variety of Taiwanese street food selling in stalls and roadside, Seafood, Sunset Bar An island with many attraction spots apart from the sandy beaches and tranquil waves, this is what makes Cijin Island such a unique place. Instagrammable opportunities abundant all around. What I did was going to the lighthouse first which you can see from afar. On the way, passby a beautiful tunnel which was recently refurbished and you will come across a magnificent view of the waves hitting along the rocks. After a hike atop quite a number of stairs (not for the faint hearted), you will reach the lighthouse where there is a coffee shop for you to take a rest if needed. After that, follow the path to the Cijin fort where you can see the remaining remnants. Acrophobias beware as the fort is quite tall in height. Feeling tired? Follow a short path down to the beaches and rest at the local sunset bar where as the name implies, you can view the daily sunset atop the sea and beach. Perfect ending. #taiwan #kaohsiung #lighthouse #fort #sunset #cijinisland

#TaiwanTravel Just take a big boat across for less than 15 minutes and you will arrive at an island with a great atmosphere, perfect for relaxing.

Take a day trip to Cijin The place we will introduce to you this time is Cijin, located in Kaohsiung! Cijin is one of the small islands located in Kaohsiung. The transportation there is very convenient. It takes about 10 minutes to take a ferry from Kaohsiung City. You can go there early to play, and then return to Kaohsiung at night to play🫶🏻 First of all, you can rent a 4-6-seater tram/motorcycle when you get there, so you can get there and you can travel around the island like this ~ However, remember to check the price. Each one does not charge and! We rented a motorcycle and a four-person tram last time for about $2000 TWD for two hours! After successfully renting a car, we went to the Starry Sky Tunnel to check in, which was originally the military combat readiness tunnel "Qijin Starry Sky Tunnel". The tunnel is the only sea view bicycle path in the country with attractions such as the lighthouse behind the flag and the turret behind the flag. It's very atmospheric and beautiful to take pictures there! Then we went to the Rainbow Church, the Rainbow Church location actually has two big booths the first of which is the Rainbow Church! The second one is like the frame of Japanese Torii to take pictures of the water reflection🚪 There are many people checking in that place, so you have to be patient when queuing ❤️ After the card at Rainbow Church, we went to the Windmill Park and we found that the best way to take pictures of windmills if you need to take them is not behind the windmills, but from a long distance to take many pictures of windmills This is the most beautiful and easiest to photograph.  After taking pictures we took turns driving the tram back, basically there are some beautiful sea views along the way, as long as you find the right place to park you can go down to take pictures at any time 🫶🏻 By the way, this tram is actually quite easy to operate, But it's best to teach it to some friends who have a hand and know how to recognize the road🥳 I was the theme of these places to check in, in addition to these places , I have combined the places in this small island more people check in for your reference 🫶🏻 because I went for the first time , so the route there I was reintegrated after I returned to Hong Kong! I hope the following combination will be more convenient for you🫶🏻 Route: Cijin Beach → Cijin Cycling Bike Trail → Starry Sky Tunnel → Qijin Windmill Park → Cijin Coastal Park → Rainbow Church → Cijin Starry Sky Tunnel (parking at the entrance) → Kaohsiung Lighthouse I hope you will like this one small island tour ~If you have the opportunity to go to other places in the future will continue to share with you📸📸📸  # Sign up for a cruise trial seater

Make a trip down to Cijin since we are in Kaohsiung. You won’t regret heading to Cijin. The locals and very friendly, there are lots of food stalls around and it is very affordable. We explore Cijin by renting their bicycle operated by electricity. Would recommend renting their bicycle so you can explore further and more. But some areas will require walking which includes Cihou Lighthouse as you will need to walk up the slope. Pretty tiring but think the view is worth it.#kaohsiung #cijin

I went to the Cijin Island in Kaohsiung, Taiwan with motorbike and ship. I took my motorbike to the ship and rode it to around the island. One of the most attractions thing is food! There are many fresh seafood stalls along the street and restaurants as well as lottery shop. Also, there is a nearby dried seafood market nearby and I also buy many of them back. The price of food is reasonable. I really enjoy this trip!

I've tried many tomato dip restaurants, this one is really good ~ the soul is the sauce! They use traditional large tomatoes and pair them with a special soy sauce paste. The soy sauce paste is first boiled and thickened with some sugar, and then licorice powder and minced ginger are added when it is ready to eat. It is very special. The seasoning of each store is slightly different. This one is generally considered to be the best. You must try it when you come to Cijin. #Kaohsiung #Cijin #Ferry #Traditional food #Fruit #Tomato sauce and ointment #Cijin Old Street #Must-eat in Kaohsiung #Cute Principal #Cute Principal Fun Travel

Part 2 of Cijin island post! Another famous tourist spot would be to visit the star tunnel (giving us a short shade from the scorching hot sun). towards the end of the tunnel, you’ll be greeted with astonishing view of the sea, naturally formed rocks & barely any tourist as well!! We got lucky, so we were able to take as many picture as possible over there :) When the wave crashed upon the rocks, the view was mad beautiful. Also super windy so becareful of your phone & camera! then we cycled back to visit other attractions & we chanced upon a place with a very nice walkway upon the greenery, and some tall building which we got up and enjoyed the entire view of the island. This area was full of tourists so you won’t miss it while you’re researching on what to do at cijin island! Finally, before getting the ferry back to kaohsiung main island, we took a break at a random shaved ice shop & they had the BEST shaved ice i had in the entire trip. The mango one was soooo sweet & refreshing at the same time. #taiwan #kaohsiung #cijin island

A day trip to cijin island from kaohsiung Taiwan during the hot summer time!! Weather was burning & we explored the island by renting bicycles upon arriving at Cijin Island after a short ferry ride from the harbour. I think having a bike to explore the island is the best way, however for individuals who are not the best in their fitness, you can actually rent motorbikes as well, or get taxi rides! The entire cijin island isn’t that big, so 1 day would be enough for you to explore all the instagramable spots on the island. This seashell attraction is one of those located at the far end of the island, however when we were there, there were no other tourists around which was good! & you’ll be able to see beautiful sea views there while you’re taking ur perfect tourist shots! Loved Cijin island. (Part 2 will be continued) #taiwan #kaohsiung

#favouriteitinerary Cijin Island, located off the coast of Kaohsiung in southern Taiwan, offers a unique cruise experience blending natural beauty, rich history, and local culture.

The journey provides a peaceful and refreshing contrast to the urban landscape, allowing passengers to unwind while taking in the sea breeze. Truly a breathtaking experience - I recommend every Trip travellers to try this.

🏮Sanfeng Temple The lantern lights create a beautiful effect when taking pictures of people. If you go up the stairs and take a selfie close to the lanterns, you'll be surprised at how good your skin looks! Highly recommended. 🌈Cijin Island Evening at the beach. There are women who stay in the best positions for taking photos forever. Their boyfriends who take the pictures must have a hard time. Everything in moderation. 🎄Kaohsiung Central Park It was December, so there were illuminations. There were so many that even I, who usually don't get excited about illuminations, felt a bit thrilled. 🚉Old Kaohsiung Station The new station was under construction. The new station is impressive, but seeing the old station lit up made me think about all the different stories people must have had there. I love the sense of preserving old things and bringing out new charm with lighting.

#newyearnewtrip If you are in Kaohsiung, do make a trip down to cijin island! This island can be accessed via a ferry and the ride wouldn’t take too long! Once you arrive at the island, it would be good to consider renting an electric bike there as the place is really huge and if you want to travel all the way to the back of the island, bike would be it a lot more accessible. However the rental staff would be asking if you have driving licence, not sure if it’s a must though. With the bike they would provide you with the island map and tell you where you can visit! Highly recommend visiting this place!
