Qishan Old Street

As the largest area in northern Kaohsiung, Qishan Old Street (旗山) was once a major distribution center for bananas and sugarcane. Must-visit attractions include Qishan Old Street (旗山), Qishan Confucius Temple, Qishan Qwei Mountain and Meinong Folk Village, and Qishan Wude Temple. Due to its specialty in bananas, the must-try local delicacies in Qishan Old Street (旗山) naturally include banana cakes and ice desserts!

During the summer, the abundant rainfall makes it ideal for agricultural cultivation, especially in banana farming, earning Qishan the nicknames ""Banana Kingdom"" and ""Hometown of Bananas."" Other must-try traditional foods include almond ice, crispy fried pork, Huang Family Chicken Rice, Shaoxing wine fried rice, and starfruit juice. In addition to Qishan Old Street (旗山), I also recommend exploring hidden gems such as Gushan Park, where you can find a mysterious Japanese shrine, and Qishan Sugar Factory. Experience the unique charm of the Banana Town through its local architectural features, cultural heritage, and historical sites.
