Located opposite the Quiming Temple the two towers sit either side of a brightly coloured dragon which is crowned with a statue of Guanyin. You have the opportunity to walk up steps into the dragons mouth, half-way through the dragons body, there is a simple alter are before exiting at the other end. Lots of turtles sunning themselves around the side of shallow ponds made for an entertaining ten minutes watching their antics. There is a pier that takes you onto the lake itself. More fun seaside attractions here including the hen that lays golden eggs!

Lotus Pond is Kaohsiung's de facto spiritual corner. With so many temples scattered around the area, Zuoying is the best place to experience the local religious life. The Spring and Autumn Pavilions is a figurative example. Local folk stories are presented like cartoon characters. An interesting place to explore.

You really need to spend more than a day at the Lotus Pond to see it all, including this place, which is dedicated to the Buddhist and Taoist goddess of mercy and compassion, Guanyin. You can see her riding on the back of a dragon that stretches between the two pagodas. You can walk through the dragon and see murals inside, and there's a pavilion with great views if you walk along the pier into the lake. It's free, and it's right across the road from the Qing Court!
