Xue's ancient house

Address: No. 44, Haiping Road, Zuoying District, Kaohsiung City, 813, Taiwan
Zuoying was the earliest settlement developed by the Han Chinese in Kaohsiung. From the Zheng family to the early Qing Dynasty, it was the seat of the county government office, so there were many families of merit and prestige. However, due to the change of the times and the development of the city, most of the houses were destroyed, demolished or rebuilt, and now the Minnan-style building "Xue Family Ancient Residence" on Haiping Road behind the planing area is the most famous.

World Games Main Venue

The architect is a Japanese Toyo Ito, and the main stadium of the World Games was handed over to the Kaohsiung Municipal Government Sports Development Bureau for operation.

Zuoying East Gate

East Gate, also known as "Feng Yi Gate", is a southeast view of the hills of Feng Shan, which resembles a flying phoenix, praying for the meaning of "having a phoenix to come". Located in Kaohsiung City East Gate Road In the past, East Gate Road was the main road leading to Bitou Street (now Fengshan District), and the walls of the East Gate remain relatively large, with walls on both sides of the gate remaining for hundreds of meters. It is rare to find an entrance to the pedestrian path, and the gate type structure at the entrance to the pedestrian path is still in place. The moat outside the city is still intact and is crossed by a bridge. Under the walls, there is a drainage facility called the "Water Gate", separated by three granite strips to prevent enemies from climbing into the city.

Zuoying West Gate

Ximen is also known as "Dianhai Gate," which means "stability," and since the city of Fengshan County borders the Taiwan Strait to the west, "Dianhai" means "stability of the sea. It was located in the present-day Zuoying Self-Help New Village. The city gate was completely destroyed and only about 100 meters of the city wall remained. Some locals have occupied the inner part of the house, and dense weeds even cover the top of the gate. Now, it is a forgotten history.

Zuoying South Gate

The south gate of the old city of Fengshan County is called Qiwen Gate, which is considered by the ancient people to be the main gate of literary fortune in the south, meaning "to open the path of the literati". It is located at the intersection of Zuoying Road and Gushan Road, a major traffic route in Zuoying, and the stone inscriptions are still intact. In August 1961, during the mayor's term of office, not only were the four corners of the gate rebuilt with concrete pillars, but also the South Gate Tower, which had disappeared during the Japanese rule, was reconstructed; however, the roof of the reconstructed tower was changed from the Qing Dynasty's "Sanchuan Ridge" style to the erroneous "Heshan Roof" style.

Zuoying North Gate

The North Gate is also known as "Gongchen Gate", the ancient name for the North Star, and "Gongchen" means "to govern with virtue, like the North Star living in its place, while all the stars are arching over it". People say that many gangsters frequented the northern part of Kaohsiung, so the residents painted scary images on the surface of the two castle gates at the northern gate to scare off robbers. These images are of two powerful gods with swords and hammers. In addition to the excellent painting style, the carving techniques on the gates are so exquisite that they are the most unique in Taiwan and no one else can compete with them. This is why it is now a Grade 1 historic site.
