Roar into Good Fortune at the Dragon and Tiger Pagodas! 🐲🐯

Ready for a true Kaohsiung highlight? The iconic Dragon and Tiger Pagodas by Lotus Pond blend vibrant Chinese architecture with local legends. Step right up—start your journey by entering the dragon’s mouth and exiting via the tiger’s mouth to boost your luck for the coming year (a must-do local tradition!).

🏮 Recommended Route:
Take a slow stroll around Lotus Pond to soak up the pagodas against a backdrop of stunning water views and lush trees. Go early for softer sunlight and fewer crowds—it’s the best time to capture architectural details and dramatic reflections.

📸 Insta-worthy Spots:
Snap a panoramic from the nearby towers to catch both pagodas and shimmering waters. Try a shot at the entrance with the colorful dragon and tiger statues! For a unique angle, photograph through the “mouths” to frame the pagoda spires.

✔️ My Tip:
Definitely follow tradition and step in through the dragon and out the tiger—the fortune-boosting ritual is as fun as it is memorable!

🧳 Visiting Tips:
Open all year, 8 AM–6 PM. You might find it sunny, cloudy, or rainy—check the weather and dress accordingly

⚠️ Key Precautions:
Slippery steps on rainy days; hold the railing! Watch out for crowds especially on weekends and holidays.
