Located next to the City God Temple, Fengyi Academy was built in 1814 and was listed as a third-grade historical site in 1985. It was built by Zhang Tingqin, a candidate for instructor in Fengshan. At that time, it had 37 rooms. The academy originally enshrined the deities of Wenchang, Kuichang, and Cangsheng, and had tables and chairs. It was the place where students studied and took the annual examinations in ancient times. The architectural details are very exquisite, and it is the largest existing academy in Taiwan.

Shoushan Zoo in Kaohsiung is the largest public zoo in southern Taiwan, providing a variety of services to the greater Kaohsiung area and the wider central, southern, and eastern regions of Taiwan, including family leisure, outdoor education, ecological education, and tourism. Recently renovated, it presents a brand-new look to visitors of all ages. The exhibits are designed to better reflect the animals' natural habitats, with extensive use of glass enclosures to allow unobstructed views and a clear view of the animals. The zoo also hosts a variety of events, including ecological lectures, summer camps, children's theater performances, photography exhibitions, nighttime zoo tours, and a "best couple" poll, keeping the park bustling with activity. The zoo is divided into six zones: Asian, American, African, Primate, Taiwanese Native Animals, and the newly opened "Children's Ranch." The layout is well-planned, and the Children's Ranch is the first of its kind in Taiwan, featuring grazing animals that are both cute and docile. Under the guidance of staff, children and adults can get close to, touch, and feed the animals, experiencing a relaxed and enjoyable ranch atmosphere right in the heart of the Kaohsiung metropolitan area.
