About Moon World Landscape Park
Moon World is located on Yueqiu Road in Tianliao District, Kaohsiung. The name refers to a rugged landform with a greyish-white surface and a desert-like landscape, preserved in its original state. Because the ground contains a mineral that glows faintly under moonlight, it is said to shimmer with tiny points of light, which gave it the name “Moon World.” It is also a popular spot for locals to take wedding photos and portraits.
