Dragon and Tiger Pagodas

The pagodas were completed in January 2025 (Taiwan calendar year 114). Due to construction, it is not possible to climb the towers. It is about a 5-minute walk from Taiwan Railways ZuoYing Station. Every time I visit Kaohsiung, I make a detour here on my way back to the High-Speed Rail ZuoYing Station. Unfortunately, this time the weather was cloudy with occasional rain. The area is surrounded by a lake and is within walking distance for a leisurely stroll. There are also temples nearby and a bustling market. The market, in particular, is large, and I would like to go around it. Items similar to duty-free goods were being sold in bulk at very low prices. If you can stay for a while, I would love to take my time and look around! On the way back, I returned to the High-Speed Rail ZuoYing Station by YouBike.
