General presentation
Kaohsiung et son littoral
Temples and pavilions border this urban lake of the Zuoying area. Also to be discovered: Monastery of Fo Guang Shan and Cijin.
Lotus Lake, Fo Guang Shan Monastery and Cijin give the most telling landmarks of Kaohsiung and its coastline. Together, they form a destination where the big city, urban life, the coastline and heritage meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: rains and typhoons can change accesses; check transports and trails before departure. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.
