Lotus Pond

Lotus Pond, located in Zuoying District of Kaohsiung, Taiwan, is a scenic lake famous for its vibrant temples, colorful pagodas, and rich cultural atmosphere. Built in 1951, the pond is named after the lotus flowers that bloom on its surface during summer. The area is best known for iconic landmarks such as the Dragon and Tiger Pagodas, the Spring and Autumn Pavilions, and the Confucius Temple. According to tradition, entering through the dragon's mouth and exiting through the tiger's mouth will turn bad luck into good fortune. The lakeside walking and cycling paths offer a relaxing way to explore the area, while traditional snacks and street vendors nearby make it a lively local destination. Whether you're interested in culture, photography, or just a peaceful stroll, Lotus Pond is a must-visit spot in Kaohsiung.

    This tour exceeded my expectations in many ways. There were so many highlights that made the experience feel rich and fulfilling. Especially the giant Buddha statue at Fo Guang Shan. The guide explained things clearly and kept everyone engaged. Everything was well thought out and carefully arranged. I left with great memories and would highly recommend it.
