　　This old fort is a splendid place to roam around, or to enjoy an outdoor concert on weekends. However, only the foundation is the original. Chihkan has gone through many masters – Ming, Qing and Japanese, and the Kuomintang (KMT) – since the foundations were first laid by the Dutch in 1653. At that time the seashore reached the fort's outer walls.

Must-see attractions
Jibei Sand Tail
Taiwan
　　Those desert island paradise photos you probably saw on Penghu's promotion brochures and websites were most likely taken at Jibei Sand Tail, a dazzling spit of sand and shells lapped by shallow turquoise waters. Amazingly, outside peak season you can often have it entirely to yourself, just like the pictures...
Beitou Hot Spring Museum
Taiwan
　　Built in 1913 as the Beitou Public Baths, this handsome building is a copy of the bathhouses in Shizuokaken Idouyama in Japan. It is also a good example of the turn-of-the century fascination among Japanese architects for blending eastern and western architecture and aesthetics. 　　The exterior, with its high roof...
Nanyao Temple
Taiwan
　　Located 2km south of Changhua Train Station, this remarkable temple is one of the stops on the Mazu Pilgrimage. The distinctive character of the complex lies in the hall in the middle: check out the Doric columns, baroque-style decor and Japanese shrines that adorn the space. The sanctum, a 1920s...
Zhang Men
Taiwan
　　Besides the very tasty and varied craft brews on tap, what makes this place extra special is the outdoor rooftop seating with royal views of Taipei 101 and the city skyline. It's a prime location if the weather is good; otherwise the indoor space is cramped, with a weird sports-bar...
Official God of War Temple
Taiwan
　　This is the oldest and most impressive temple in Taiwan dedicated to Guandi (Guan Gong), a Han-dynasty general deified as the God of War. He is the patron of warriors and those who live by a code of honour. Unlike most temple plaques, which remind believers to pay tribute to...
Fu Wan Chocolate
Taiwan
　　Cacao orchard, boutique, and hotel in one, Fu Wan makes fabulous, (mostly) tree-to-bar chocolate that's bagged multiple laurels at the International Chocolate Awards. You can buy bars, ice cream and drinks at their lovely boutique. Flavoured chocolate includes Thai curry shrimp in white chocolate and 70% dark with lychee. You...
Taroko Gorge
Taiwan
　　This 18km marble-walled gorge is Taroko National Park's crown jewel. It's a must-see attraction whether you're hiking its trails, peering at its geological features or simply driving along the road that runs right through the middle (albeit much of the way in tunnels), wondering just how high are those mountains...
Former Japanese Navy Fongshan Radio Station
Taiwan
　　This mysterious national relic in Fengshan was a Japanese naval radio station that later became an interrogation facility under the Republic of China, then a disciplinary camp during the White Terror. The grassy complex full of mango trees has nine sites of interest, including a cross-shaped communication facility with steel...
Cihou Fort
Taiwan
　　A handsome modern fort with Qing dynasty foundations that used to guard the northern entrance to Kaohsiung Harbour. From the top of the barracks and the emplacements, you can see the harbour on one side and the cityscape on the other. It's a hugely photogenic place at sunset. The fort...
Story House of Naval Base Zuoying
Taiwan
　　In a compound next to Taiwan's largest naval base, this small museum pays tribute to Zuoying's strong military heritage. By means of relics, photos, warship models and replicas of old living quarters, a narrative is presented of the development of the navy and the navy veterans' village, from the 17th...
Guomao Community
Taiwan
　　Dramatic residential blocks with curved facades encircle a diaspora community in the Guomao area. The dozen-or-so 12-storey buildings were constructed for the mainland Chinese soldiers of the ROC navy and their families when an old military dependants' village had to be torn down. A self-sufficient community frozen in time, you'll...
Water Fairy Temple
Taiwan
　　Hidden inside a market named after itself, Shuixian Temple (literally 'Water Fairy Temple') is a far cry from the days when it was not only a place of worship, but the guild hall and control room of the Five Canals area. Enshrined here is Yu the Great (大禹), a king...
