As the tour weaves through the streets of Gushan District, you'll encounter landmarks steeped in history. The Daitian Temple, established in 1949 by Tainan immigrants, serves as a spiritual anchor for the local fishing community, with its unique worship of the Five Kings, dark-faced deities from Taoism. The Gushan Ferry Station, more than just a transit point, offers panoramic views of the harbor, where the blue of the ocean meets the green of the mountains. The British Consulate at Takow, dating back to 1879, stands as a testament to the era when foreign powers vied for a foothold in Taiwan's lucrative trade routes. Each stop on this interesting free tour is a chapter in the story of Kaohsiung where your guide will help you understand the city’s historical significance and its role in shaping Taiwan's destiny.
