Kaohsiung, Taiwan - Cijin - Cihou Fort HD (2017)
Cihou Fort or Cihou Battery (Chinese: 旗後砲臺; Hanyu Pinyin: Qíhou Pàotái; Tongyong Pinyin: Cíhòu Pàotái; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Kî-āu Phàu-tâi) is a historic fort in Cijin District, Kaohsiung, Taiwan, formerly guarding northern entrance to Kaohsiung Harbor.
The first fortifications were built in 1720 when Taiwan was ruled by the Manchu-led Qing Empire of China. After Japanese expedition in 1874, the Qing authorities constructed a modern fort, which in 1880 had new Armstrong's guns installed. It played no part in the Sino-French War; the fighting in Taiwan took place around Keelung and during blockade French ships did not approach the port.
Taiwan was ceded to Japan according to the Treaty of Shimonoseki in the aftermath of the first Sino-Japanese war. The local troops, however, fought on. On 12 October 1895, escadre commanded by admiral Arichi Shinanojo (cruisers Yoshino, Naniwa, Akitsushima, Yaeyama, Saien (ex Chinese Jiyuan, captured in Weihaiwei) and corvette Hiei) arrived at Takow (modern-day Kaohsiung) and prompted the foreigners to evacuate, as they would conduct the attack on the next day. The foreigners boarded gunboat HMS Tweed and two tugs and withdrew (only to return once the fight was over). At 7 am, 13 October, Japanese ships opened fire on the Takow forts at a range of about 6,000 yards. For the first half-hour, the forts responded, but after this their guns were silent...The forts fired twenty four rounds, the best shot being from the 8-inch B.L. Armstrong guns in Apes' Hill fort, which struck the water about 500 yards from the Naniwa Kan. The Japanese troops seized the forts in early afternoon, suffering no casualties (4 Chinese soldiers were killed).
During the Japanese era the fort was not used.
After World War II the hill was fortified by Chinese army: light gun and machine gun nests cut in the rock can still be found there.

Beautiful Cijin 旗津島 (Qijin)
Cijin island is a district of Kaohsiung city, it is accessed from the mainland by ferry (pedestrians, bicycles, motorbikes) at the north tip, or by car through the Cross Harbor Tunnel at the south tip. There are a lot of attractions and beautiful places such as fine beaches, the light house, the Cihou Fort, the Tianhou Temple, the night market, the seaside park and much more. There's lot of fresh seafood restaurants and delicious Taiwanese snacks stalls as well. Wandering the old streets and discovering old typical houses and shops is amazing. From the east side of the island, one can admire all the large vessels birthing in the Kaohsiung port.

旗津舊名旗後，為一個狹長形的島，往旗津有兩種選擇，一是搭乘渡船，一是驅車穿過過港隧道。旗津雖小，卻有多樣吸引人的去處，在廟前路的天后宮，有三百年歷史；身著唐裝的三輪車伕，是島上另一個觀光焦點，旗津老街上，綿延清一色海產店，價廉味美的新鮮海產，露天下大快朵頤，十分暢快。更多
