Kaohsiung

Kaohsiung is best known in Taiwan for the Port of Kaohsiung, the country’s largest commercial harbour. Its administration also reaches into the northern South China Sea: Dongsha Atoll, at these coordinates, forms part of Kaohsiung’s Cijin District. Also called the Pratas Islands, this isolated coral atoll is a broad reef enclosing a lagoon, with Dongsha Island as its only permanently emergent land. It lies within Dongsha Atoll National Park, established in 2007 to protect coral reefs, seagrass beds and marine life. Access is tightly controlled, revealing a very different side of Kaohsiung from its busy urban waterfront. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Kaohsiung.
