Everyone's out for a nice day in the sun.
I started out at Gushan Ferry terminal in the Sanzhiwan district of Kaohsiung. It was a great day-warm but not hot, and nice and sunny. There were merry views of ferries docking, and others boats and ships chug-chugging across the busy harbour.
Across the narrow harbour mouth was the lighthouse hill on Cijin Island.
Old area from Qing Dynasty times in Gushan, near Sizhiwan.
This ship just rocketed out of the harbour mouth.
The old British Consulate at Dagou. Worth the walk up the steps.
Talking business over tea: something civilized men of whatever background can agree on.
Not sure what the relevance of a nude statue at an old consulate is, but nice bum!
Kaohsiung harbour as seen from the consulate.
The breakwater near Siziwan and the beach, and Sun Yat-sen University.
View from the road to Caishan.
From that road, paths led down to more secluded beaches.
The ridge of Caishan.

Chiang Kai-shek's old car, on display near Siziwan.
Overall, it was a pleasant and uneventful ramble around a pretty area. The only problem was that, due to a massive Navy and Marine base in adjacent Zuoying, there was no way through, so I'd have to do a run around.
