Much of the lake is full of traditional Chinese temples, gardens, and architecture. Because of its size, it cannot be properly appreciated by only going there for one afternoon; there are simply too many things to see and do there. In this blog, we will provide you a detailed virtual tour of the entire lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!-- Travel Tips Block -->\n<div style=\"\n    border: 2px solid #4CAF50; \/* Colored frame *\/\n    border-radius: 8px;\n    padding: 15px 20px;\n    margin: 20px 0;\n    background-color: #f9f9f9;\n    font-family: 'Lato', Arial, sans-serif;\n    line-height: 1.6;\n    box-shadow: 0px 2px 8px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);\n\">\n    <p style=\"\n        margin-top: 0;\n        font-size: 20px;\n        color: #333333;\n        font-weight: 700;\n        display: flex;\n        align-items: center;\n    \">\n        \ud83c\udfd6\ufe0f Planning your trip to Kaohsiung? \ud83d\udc12\n    <\/p>\n    <p style=\"\n        margin: 0 0 10px;\n        font-size: 16px;\n        color: #555555;\n    \">\n        Here are some top travel tips for you:\n    <\/p>\n    <ul style=\"\n        padding-left: 20px;\n        margin: 0;\n        font-size: 17px;\n        color: #444444;\n    \">\n        <li>Best time to visit: <strong>Winter<\/strong> when temperatures are cooler and there is less rain<\/li>\n        <li>How to get there: \n            <a href=\"https:\/\/klook.tp.st\/XTaSHrqA\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #007bff; text-decoration: none; font-weight: 600;\" rel=\"noopener\">\n                Taiwan High Speed Railway\n            <\/a> and \n            <a href=\"https:\/\/klook.tp.st\/XTaSHrqA\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #007bff; text-decoration: none; font-weight: 600;\" rel=\"noopener\">\n           Inter-City Bus <\/a> \n        <\/li>\n        <li>Best places to stay: \n            <a href=\"https:\/\/agoda.tp.st\/kqbs4zHd\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #007bff; text-decoration: none; font-weight: 600;\" rel=\"noopener\">\n                Mingli Hotel\n<\/a> \n            or \n            <a href=\"https:\/\/agoda.tp.st\/dSHLNrKz\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #007bff; text-decoration: none; font-weight: 600;\" rel=\"noopener\">\n                IHI Sandup Hotel\n            <\/a>\nwhich are great value choices located downtown. \n        <\/li>\n        <li>Book tours and activities in Kaohsiung on \n            <a href=\"https:\/\/klook.tp.st\/duRKLchR\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #007bff; text-decoration: none; font-weight: 600;\" rel=\"noopener\">\n                Klook\n        <\/li>\n <\/li>\n       <li>Stay connected with \n            <a href=\"https:\/\/klook.tp.st\/IF5DuEip\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #007bff; text-decoration: none; font-weight: 600;\" rel=\"noopener\">\n                a local SIM\n            <\/a>\n        <\/li>\n<li>\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/klook.tp.st\/XTaSHrqA\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #007bff; text-decoration: none; font-weight: 600;\" rel=\"noopener\">\n                Rent a car\n            <\/a> \n            to explore distant sights\n        <\/li>\n    <\/ul>\n<\/div>\n    <\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id5768_025377-6c .kb-table-of-content-wrap{padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id5768_025377-6c .kb-table-of-contents-title-wrap{padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id5768_025377-6c .kb-table-of-contents-title{font-weight:regular;font-style:normal;}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id5768_025377-6c .kb-table-of-content-wrap .kb-table-of-content-list{font-weight:regular;font-style:normal;margin-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;}<\/style>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Historical Background:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Lotus Pond was originally a small natural pond next to what is now the Zuoying Confucious Temple. Starting from <a href=\"https:\/\/zh.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/%E8%93%AE%E6%B1%A0%E6%BD%AD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1686<\/a> after the Qing Dynasty captured Taiwan from the Kingdom of Tungming, the pond was gradually expanded for water storage and irrigation purposes. Also, lotus plants were cultivated on the pond, giving it its name. It was known as one of the eight beautiful scenes of Fengshan Old City. It also became a hotbed for temple building, and now over 20 temples stand by the lake. <br>In 1951 the Qiming Temple, Spring and Autumn Pavilions, and Guanwu God Temple were completed. <br>In 1976 the Dragon and Tiger pagodas were completed. <br>In 1978 Wuli Pavilion was completed.<br>Every year over a million visitors come to the park, although these numbers have gone down in recent years due to aging infrastructure and lack of new attractions. It is a haven for retired Taiwanese people to come and relax.<br>Due to its close proximity to the Zuoying Jiucheng TRA station and Zuoying HSR station, it is also a popular attraction for tourists in Kaohsiung. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Price:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Free<br>You can book water sport activities at the Lotus Pond on <a
