Located on the western side of the city of Kaohsiung in Taiwan, China, Gushan is one of the earliest developed areas of Kaohsiung, deriving its name from the Shou Shan (commonly known as Drum Mountain) within its boundaries. The area is bordered by Yancheng District to the east and the Taiwan Strait to the west, and boasts an important harbor area for the Port of Kaohsiung, historically known for monuments such as the Dog Fighting British Consulate. Gushan District contains neighborhoods with colonial-era architectural features such as Harmasin and Whistling Ship's Head, as well as well-known landmarks such as Xiziwan Scenic Area and Sun Yat-sen University. It has become an urban area that combines history and culture, harbor landscape and higher education functions.
Gushan District is rich in cultural tourism resources: Xizi Bay is famous for its sunset seascape and natural reef clusters; the Taogou British Consulate Residence, built in 1865, is Taiwan's oldest surviving modern Western building; and the hiking trails that run through the district offer a panoramic view of Kaohsiung Harbor. The Hamasin neighborhood preserves the remains of the railway tracks from the Japanese colonial period, and the Barge 2 Art Special Zone has been transformed from an old warehouse into a cultural and creative base. The Gushan Ferry Station connects to the Qijin Peninsula and is an important hub for experiencing Kaohsiung's harbor.
Rogatica is a town in the eastern part of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), part of the entity of Republika Srpska, located in the Drina River valley about 60 kilometers east of Sarajevo. The town is situated in a valley surrounded by mountains, at an altitude of about 500 meters above sea level, and has a temperate continental climate with cold and snowy winters and mild, wet summers.
Rogatica has a long history, first documented in the 14th century, and developed as a trading hub during the Ottoman period. The city retains its 16th-century Ottoman bridges, mosques and traditional stone buildings, and is characterized by a combination of Balkan and Eastern cultures. The city was severely damaged during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina (1992-1995), but was gradually rebuilt after the war, and today the mainstay of the economy is forestry, animal husbandry and small-scale industry.
Rogatica is surrounded by magnificent natural beauty and is close to the Sutjeska National Park (one of the last virgin forests in Europe) and the famous Drina River Gorge. Visitors can explore war memorial sites, hike mountain trails, or experience the folk culture of traditional villages. The town has a population of about 11,000 (2013 data) and is connected to Sarajevo's border with Serbia by the M5 highway, making it an important stopover for exploring the nature and history of eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina.
