Cijin Twilight Views🌆

I arrived at Cihou Lighthouse just after sunset. Even though I missed the golden moment, the atmosphere at twilight was calm and beautiful. The lighthouse was softly lit, the sky turned purple, and the harbor lights of Kaohsiung began to shine. It felt peaceful—like the world had slowed down.

How to Get There
• 📍 Location: Cijin Island, Kaohsiung (Need to take a ferry from Gushan/Ferry Pier)
• ⛴ From Kaohsiung City:
• Take the Cijin Ferry (約 10 minutes ride)
• Walk or rent a bicycle on Cijin Island
• 🏞 Walk to Lighthouse:
• From Cijin beach or tunnel, it’s a 10–15 min uphill walk to the lighthouse

Time What You’ll Get
4:30 – 5:30 PM Best for sunset + photos
After 6 PM Peaceful twilight, city lights view
Night Beautiful harbor nightscape, no crowd

🎒 What to Prepare

✔ Comfortable shoes (uphill path)
