Fongshan District, Administrative district in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.

Fengshan District spans 26.76 square kilometers in southern Kaohsiung, with a population density of 13,000 residents per square kilometer as of October 2023.

The region, formerly called Pongsoya during Dutch colonization, contained Makatao villages before transforming into Hozan Cho under Japanese administration in 1901.
