An online post recently rated Kaohsiung’s worst tourist attractions. Among their illustrious ranks is an old sign from a defunct seafood wholesaler and a cluster of hydrant covers that look like a cat’s paw. Both can even be found on Google Maps.

It’s common to people taking photos of the ground at the intersection of Singjong First and Linsen Second roads in Kaohsiung. But what are they looking at?

Resident
Yesterday a friend posted it in a group and it was right by my house. I saw it today, so I stopped by to check it out.

It was included on an online list of Kaohsiung’s worst attractions. The new pavement around the hydrant cover and nearby valves makes it look like a cat’s paw. Someone put it on Google Maps as an attraction, which now has 4.7 stars.

Local shop owner
I found out about it online. It’s interesting, but kind of silly to make it an attraction.

Passerby
Really? I didn’t see it at all, only found out after you asked me. It’s interesting, but really stupid.

Over at the intersection of Minsheng First and Fusing Second roads, a tree has been pruned into a half dome. As it looks like a giant helmet towering over passing motorcyclists, people online have dubbed it the Helmet Banyan. But that’s not all. On Tongai Street, a sign reading “hah?” from a now-defunct seafood wholesaler has also become a destination.

Resident
They sold noodles before, but switched to clams after changing owners. That’s why it still has part of the word for clam. The other part’s worn away.

After going out of business, the spot unexpectedly turned into an attraction among the perennially online that now has 5.0 stars on Google Maps.
