About Chaishan Mountain and Sea Palace
Chaishan Mountain and Sea Palace (柴山山海宮) is a representative temple in the only community which is located on the western side of Chaishan (or Shoushan 壽山), Kaohsiung. You may not see this community appears often on the official travel websites or brochures. But with a rural backdrop of the sea and mountain, this small village attracts some cyclists, young students or random visitors to look at this interesting place where retains a complete different atmosphere from the urban Kaohsiung on the other side of Chaishan.
In December 2024 I cycled to this place. Honestly an U-Bike is not the appropriate transportation method to go there, but that was the way I used to move in Kaohsiung. The road becomes steep from the campus of Sun Yat-sen University (中山大學). I had to jump off and push the bike several times before arriving the destination. But if you ride a proper bike, the gradient along Chaishan Ave should be just a fun challenge. I stopped at one of the coffee shops on the way and enjoyed the priciest ice cream in black tea in my life. I guest 80% of price was for the view and the building.
