In
order
to
find
the
less
well-known
waterway
ruins
in
Kaohsiung,
I
climbed
up
from
Alley
60
of
Mountaineering
Street,
and
unexpectedly
discovered
this
desolate
waterway
ruins.
In
1864,
Dagou
officially
opened
its
port.
The
mountain
spring
water
gushes
from
the
hillside
of
Shoushan
Mountain
and
flows
through
Lane
60
of
Dengshan
Street
to
the
port
shore.
It
became
a
place
for
merchant
ships
to
obtain
fresh
water
and
was
named
Da
Shui
Bay.
In
1886,
Taiwan's
first
governor
Liu
Mingchuan
built
the
Dapingding
fort
in
Shoushan
to
strengthen
the
defense
of
Dagougang.
In
1889,
three
Armstrong
breech-loading
cannons
were
purchased
from
the
United
Kingdom
and
transported
up
the
mountain
by
manpower
along
the
stone
steps
of
Alley
60
of
Mountaineering
Street.
Install.
In
1923,
the
Japanese
Crown
Prince
Hirohito
also
climbed
the
ancient
path
to
overlook
the
beautiful
scenery
of
the
harbor.
In
1925,
the
construction
of
Shoushan
Memorial
Park
began,
and
the
ancient
path
at
Alley
60
of
Denshan
Street
was
transformed
into
the
"Prospect
Road"
overlooking
the
harbor
area.
During
the
Hama
Star
port
construction
period,
two
platforms
were
built
on
the
east
side
of
the
ancient
road
to
serve
as
the
official
residence
of
the
Kaohsiung
Port
Construction
Office.
After
World
War
II
ended
in
1945,
it
was
converted
into
the
official
residence
of
the
Kaohsiung
Port
Authority.
A
few
years
later,
military
dependents
and
urban
and
rural
immigrants
from
China
moved
in
one
after
another
and
built
simple
houses
independently
on
the
hillside
open
space,
forming
a
mountain
settlement.
The
settlement
on
the
west
side
of
the
ancient
road
is
still
intact,
while
most
of
the
buildings
on
the
east
side
have
been
demolished,
leaving
some
walls,
columns
and
tiles.
In
1998,
it
was
allocated
to
Sun
Yat-sen
University
as
the
school
site.
