Climbing Shoushan offers sweeping views of Kaohsiung’s mountains, sea, rivers, and harbor, and over the decades, countless couples have left sweet memories here. In response, the Kaohsiung City Tourism Bureau has created a Lover’s Observation Deck in front of the Shoushan Martyrs' Shrine, infusing the originally private dating site with romantic elements and providing visitors with a platform to admire the cityscape. To further enhance the romantic ambiance, the observation deck features the “LOVE Megaphone” art installation, decorative plaques inscribed with declarations of love in 32 languages, and three monkey-shaped stone sculptures symbolizing the three stages of love—pursuit, passionate romance, and enduring union.

Located at one of the highest points on Shoushan, the Lover’s Observation Deck offers unobstructed views of the streets and harbor, making it a popular nightspot for couples to enjoy the city lights. The Kaohsiung City Tourism Bureau has designated this as a top destination for romantic dates and wedding photo shoots. In addition to the giant interactive “LOVE Megaphone” installation shaped with the word LOVE—conveying the romantic notion that love should be expressed boldly—the site also features three monkey-shaped stone sculptures representing the different stages of love: pursuit, passionate romance, and lifelong union. The observation deck displays plaques with declarations of love in 32 languages, symbolizing that love is a universal language that transcends borders. These elements encourage couples to express their feelings bravely, enjoy romantic moments together, and represent solemn vows, lifelong bonds in Kaohsiung, and eternal love. Whether you’re a local resident or a visitor, a trip to Shoushan Lover’s Observation Deck—whether on your way to Qijin or West Bay—is a must to witness the unique beauty of Kaohsiung’s day-to-night transitions and its stunning mountain-sea-river-harbor vistas.
