Fongshan City Wall Historic Route is an aerial pedestrian walkway weaving through the urban landscape, guiding visitors to immerse themselves in the metropolitan ambiance while experiencing the grandeur and historical imprints of Taiwan's first stone city. Together, it bears witness to the illustrious history spanning 300 years of the Old Fongshan City. Stretching nearly 800 meters, this elevated pathway connects the East Gate to the North Gate of the ancient city, elevating visitors approximately 4 to 6 meters above ground, offering glimpses of ancient city walls amidst the ever-evolving historical landscape. It's as if layers of urban scenery from different eras are stacked beneath one's feet, turning visitors into voyagers through time and space.

Surrounded by tree shadows, the structure of the pathway seamlessly integrates into the urban landscape. At night, deliberately subdued lighting, achieved through a combination of small-scale fixtures and integrated railings, creates a continuous guiding path. In segments crossing roads, lighting is intentionally enhanced along the outer edge of the pathway, leaving an impression on the urban texture, deepening the pathway's significance in the lives of city residents, and serving as a vital link in Kaohsiung, connecting cultural heritage with tourism development.
