History

edit
 
Area that later became Cijin Island shown as part of Takao Prefecture then under Japanese rule during World War II (AMS, 1945)

Cijin forms the original core of the Kaohsiung, which was established by the fisherman Hsu Ah-hua (徐じょ阿おもね華はな) in the mid-17th century. He realized the attractiveness of the location when he was forced to seek shelter from a typhoon in the Taiwan Strait and returned with settlers from the Hung, Wang, Tsai, Lee, Pai, and Pan families and an idol of the Chinese sea goddess Ma-tsu. This was housed in a bamboo and thatch structure that formed the first Cijin Tianhou Temple. The town grew up around the temple grounds.[20]

HMS Reynard was wrecked near Pratas Island on May 31, 1851.

Cijin Island was once connected to the mainland at the southern tip, but in 1967, this link was severed to create a second entry point to the Port of Kaohsiung. Currently Cijin Island is connect to the mainland via tunnel, thus the island is not valid for Offshore Islands Development Act.[21]
