Dragon and Tiger Pagoda, Kaohsiung, Taiwan


Today we visited a fancy pagoda in Kaohsiung at a lake. We caught the metro and then walked to the lake where it was located



Not a bad pagoda, it had a nice zigzag entrance and then you walked in and out through a tiger and dragon.







It also had a very nicely decorated entrance and a box where you could make a 'free donation'.





When you got to the top it provided a nice view of the lake.

We went for a nice walk along a river called, 'Love River' tonight. 


It wasn't very lovvy, but it was quite a nice walk with some nice buildings. It was quite relaxing too. Below are some pictures.

Kaohsiung City, Taiwan

The last stop for our trip is Kaohsiung City. We are here for a few days and then flying back from this city to Ho Chi Minh City.



It was a couple of hours on a bus from Kenting to Kaohsiung. Not a bad journey. We are also staying by the metro which will make getting around easy. There are only two lines around the city.

Southernmost point in Taiwan

In our last day in Kenting we visited the southernmost point in Taiwan. This would be like going to Lizard point in the UK. There was a lighthouse before a walk to the coast.


Its always nice to be greeted by a sign like this before your walk!



It was a nice short walk to the coast and when I got there, the view was okay. It was very wet and miserable which didn't help. There was a concrete monument on the look out platform which looked out to nothing.

Kenting National Park, Taiwan


Today we headed towards the south of Taiwan and to stay in a place called Kenting National Park.



The hole of the south coast is a national park with lots of hills, cliffs and beaches. We rented an e-bike for the day to explore. In the morning we headed east and took in the views. It rained for the whole morning.







We went back to the town for lunc hand to recharge our batteries on the e-bike. In the afternoon the weather completely changed and we explored some of the beaches.
