🌴 Cijin Island Escape: Lighthouses, Sea Breeze & Sunset Shores 🏖️🌅

#summervacay Just a 5-minute ferry from Kaohsiung city, Cijin Island feels like a world away. Start your adventure with a short hike up to the Cijin Lighthouse — a charming white beacon with panoramic views of the Taiwan Strait and Kaohsiung skyline. On the way, stop by Cihou Fort for some history wrapped in ocean air. 🏯🌬️ Then head down to Cijin Beach, where black sands meet salty waves, locals fly kites, and sunset paints the sky in magic hour tones. Add a grilled squid skewer or mango ice to complete your seaside ritual. 🐙🍧 🚢 Getting there: 5-min ferry from Gushan Ferry Pier 📍 Must-do: Lighthouse view + beach walk + seafood street snacks 📸 Vibe: Vintage island charm, slow travel, salt in the air #cijinisland #kaohsiunggetaway #cijinlighthouse #taiwanhiddengems #islandescapetaiwan #cijinbeachvibes #slowtraveltaiwan #blacksandbeach #kaohsiungviews #sunsetincijin
