Lotus Pond, Lake in Zuoying District, Taiwan.
Lotus Pond is a circular lake in Zuoying District with walking paths along its shoreline, surrounded by numerous temples and traditional structures. These buildings are reflected in the water and form a cohesive setting together with the elevated pagodas.
The lake has served as a spiritual center since the Qing Dynasty period. The Dragon and Tiger Pagodas were built in 1976 and have defined the site's appearance since then.
Multiple temples around the water host religious ceremonies and festivals throughout the year, keeping Buddhist and Taoist traditions alive in daily practice. Visitors can observe these customs firsthand and experience how spiritual life unfolds in this religious center.
The site connects directly to Zuoying High Speed Rail station through walking paths, making it easy to reach by train. Boat rentals and bicycle stations are available around the shore for exploring the area.
During summer months, large pink lotus flowers cover sections of the water surface and create patterns visible from the elevated pagodas. This seasonal natural display makes the lake a particularly photogenic spot during that time.
