Fengshan is a district of Kaohsiung in southern Taiwan rather than a separate city, inland from the harbour. It is dense and residential, and retains fragments of the walls and gates of the old Qing-era county seat.
The surviving gates and moat sections of the old walled town are the district's historic interest, and the Fongyi Academy is a well-preserved Qing school building. Kaohsiung's harbour, its art district in converted warehouses and the Lotus Pond with its dragon and tiger pagodas are all a short metro ride away.
The Kaohsiung metro serves the district and connects to the harbour and the main station. The district is flat and widely cycled, with a public bike scheme.
Autumn through spring is warm, dry and much the most comfortable. Summers are hot and humid with heavy afternoon rain and typhoon risk.
Taiwan uses the TWD, calling code +886.
Taiwan uses the New Taiwan dollar, and Mandarin is official with Taiwanese Hokkien very widely spoken in the south. Manner is notably helpful and friendly, and night markets are largely cash.
