Jul 13, 2016 · Regardless of what you choose to do, once you’re ready, hop on the MRT (RED line) towards Gangshan South and stop off at the Ecological District. From here, it’s a 15 minute walk to the Lotus Pond, another must see location in Kaohsiung.
Apr 30, 2021 · The Japanese, who took a dim view of Taiwanese folk practices, left their mark on Gangshan in the form of practical, prosaic infrastructure.

The artistically bold Gangshan Eye (entry fee) stands high up near the tip of a peninsula-like foothills section that juts out into the Gangshan flatlands, the foothills’ westernmost point. This is a long, gleaming-white skybridge with a music theme. It is 88m long and soars 40m above the ground, held by suspension cables (“violin strings”) extendi...
The “Gangshan three (culinary) treasures” are goat meat, spicy soybean paste, and honey. Goat raising was brought to the area in the 1920s because of the poor suitability of Gangshan soil for crop cultivation.
One of the busiest local spots for finding goat meat is the “Zhengzong Goat Meat Restaurant.”The spic-and-span interior here is long and thin, with large windows facing the street along one wall. The most in-demand menu options are hot pots and soups, which feature rich, savory stocks and come with both meat and offal options. While goat meat has a...
A Little Ice is a cozy hole-in-the-wall with an exterior combo of gleaming-white and much glass, and an interior equally gleaming-white with modern-chic minimalist furnishings.

Or perhaps that a magical unde...
The entrance of the otherworldly Moon World attraction is deeper in the foothills north of the Stone Temple. This is a large badlands/mud volcano landscape, the most tourist-developed of its kind on Taiwan.
