Iconic Pagodas
The Dragon and Tiger Pagodas are the most famous landmark, where visitors enter through the dragon's mouth and exit through the tiger's mouth, symbolizing turning bad luck into good fortune.
Spring and Autumn Pavilions
These two Chinese palace-style structures are dedicated to Guan Yu, the God of War, and are connected by a bridge over the pond, featuring a large statue of the deity riding a dragon.
Grand Confucius Temple
Located on the northern shore, the Kaohsiung Confucius Temple is the largest Confucius Temple in Taiwan, built in the traditional Song Dynasty architectural style.
Seasonal Bloom
The pond is aptly named 'Lotus Pond' due to the beautiful lotus flowers that bloom abundantly, especially during the summer, covering parts of the water surface.
