Fengshan is home to one of Kaohsiung's two "old cities," fortified encampments/military bases set up in what is now Kaohsiung during the Qing (Ching) Dynasty. Fengshan's old city was moved to the area from Zuoying, and what's left of it consists of scattered historic sites that won't be immediately obvious to the average traveler. 鳳山 與左營目前都有清時代遺留的軍事建築。 鳳山的舊城是從左營地區移過去的 ， 留下的遺址有幾個地標存在 ， 可能引不起大部分遊客的注意。
According the last census, 359,579 people live in Fengshan. It's the most densely populated district in Kaohsiung. 上次的人口統計表示 鳳山的人口是359,579人 ， 是高雄人口密度最高的 。
This is the Fengshan Train Station. Kinda cool, right? It was remodeled not long ago to reflect some of the area's history. If you're in the area with time to kill, there's a Big ("Mega") PX Mart within walking distance. 這是鳳山車站 ， 很好看 ! 對不對 ? 沒多久前改建的 ，加入了當地的歷史元素， 附近有大全聯 。
On the east side of Fengshan, not far from Daliao, is the Fengshan Junior High School MRT Station. You'll notice a lot of phoenixes in the Fengshan MRT stops. The "Feng" 鳳 in Fengshan means "phoenix." 鳳山東部 ，離大寮不遠有鳳山國中捷運站 ， 捷運站裡的鳳裝飾很多 。
Huangpu Park is between the Fengshan JHS MRT Station and the Dadong MRT Station. There isn't much in this area for tourists. 黃埔公園位於鳳山國中捷運站和大東捷運站中間 ， 這個地區比較沒有景點 。
Closer to Dadong you'll find the Dongbian Gate (or Tongyi Gate) a remnant of the "New City" built here during the Ching (Qing) Dynasty. Many scooter riders use the bridge as a shortcut, and pedestrians should exercise caution. 東便門 (同儀門) 比較靠近大東捷運站 ， 是清朝時"新城"的部分 。 很多機車騎士會騎車上這座橋 ， 所以行人要小心 。
Along the same canal you'll find the Dadong Arts Center. I didn't go inside, too many museums lately. Another day! 順著同一條水圳會到大東文化藝術中心 。 我最近參觀了很多博物館 ， 所以我沒進去， 改天吧 !
It looks cool from the front, however. 外表很酷 .
Across the road is Dadong Park, the largest park in Fengshan. 鳳山最大的公園--大東公園 ，在對面 。
This is the entrance to the park. I didn't go as far in as the "wetlands," but I have the feeling that half is more attractive than the half near the Arts Center. 公園的入口 。 我沒有走到濕地的部分 ， 但我感覺濕地的另外一部分應該比藝術中心附近的部分好看。.
Near the Fengshan MRT Station you'll find more Ching (Qing) Dynasty relics like this canon emplacement. Not far from here is the Fengyi Academy, an old "schoolhouse" used during the same time period. I have mixed feelings about the Fengyi Academy. On the one hand I think it offers a good introduction to what an upper class education looked like back then, on the other hand I find the newer, Instagram-friendly statues installed there somewhat gaudy. 在鳳山捷運站附近有多個清代遺址 ， 這座砲台是其中一個 。 離這裡不遠也有鳳儀書院 ，我對它的看法複雜，它裡面的人偶可以讓大家感受到以前人們上學的樣貌 ， 但另一方面也讓它看起來是成為網路上的美照而已。
This pool is near the canon emplacement. It's a good area for a stroll. 這個水池在附近 ， 在這附近散步不錯 。
This cute garden is between the emplacement and the Tsaogong (Caogong) Temple. 這可愛的花園在砲台和曹公廟中間 。
The Zhonghua (Junghua) Street Night Market is in the same area. I've never been here when it's in full swing, but I have the feeling that I'd like a lot of the food. 中華街觀光夜市在附近 ，雖然我沒來吃過東西， 可是我想這裡的美食應該很好吃 。
They're building a MASSIVE LaLaport Shopping Center right next to the Fengshan West MRT Stop, so those traveling through this area in the future might want to keep an eye out for it. 在鳳山西站旁邊， 他們正在蓋LaLaport購物中心 ， 以後大家可以來這裡逛一逛 。
And any discussion of Fengshan should include the National Kaohsiung Center for the Arts in Weiwuying. This building is still in the running for "Kaohsiung's weirdest-looking," even though it's not as new or as surprising as it once was. 討論鳳山就一定要提到衛武營國家藝術中心 ， 這棟建築物長得很奇怪 ， 可是高雄還有更奇怪的 。
At the time of our visit they were gearing up for some kind of "mother tongue festival." It looked like it was going to be quite an event. 我們來的時候他們正在準備母語節活動 ， 好像會有很多人來參加 。
Behind the Arts Center is the Weiwuying Metropolitan Park, which was previously discussed in the Lingya entry. This park is divided between the two districts. 藝術文化中心後方的衛武營都會公園， 以前在苓雅區的文章討論過 ， 公園的一半在苓雅 ， 另一半在鳳山 。
And from here, just a short walk away, is the Weiwuying MRT Station. By this point we'd crossed the district from east to west, and it was time to go home, rest our feet, and live to fight another day. 衛武營捷運站離都會公園很近 ， 我們已經從鳳山東部邊界走到西部邊界 ， 腳累了 ， 回家休息 !

...and many others besides. As you click back through Kaohsiung-related entries more discussions of this part of Kaohsiung will inevitably pop up.
*Weiwuying MRT Station is actually in Lingya, but since walking a few steps down to the nearby arts center brings you into Fengshan I figure it's close enough.
