Spring and Autumn Pavillions Tours

Spring and Autumn Pavillions which includes a temple or place of worship and night scenes
Enter through the jaws of a dragon to see traditional works of art before climbing up one of the towers that overlook Lotus Pond.

The complex of the Spring and Autumn Pavilions is a traditional Taoist site dedicated to Kuan Kung, the God of War. A large statue of the Goddess of Mercy riding a dragon wraps around the complex, giving it a unique appearance that inspires curiosity. The setting consists of two four-story towers with green balconies connecting the yellow tiers.

Through your hotel, arrange a tour guide who will explain the meaning behind the structures and the works of art on the walls. Enter a tunnel through the dragon’s mouth, which can be a thrill for kids. Capture photos of your family in the mythical creature’s jaws. Feed the turtles near the entrance with food you can purchase at a fish statue.

Stay for sunset to see the reflection of the traditional pagoda in the water of Lotus Pond. Stand in the center of the Nine Bend Bridge for a stunning view of the temple complex looming majestically over the lake.

Watch crowds of locals who play chess and do gymnastics in this serene area. Sit with a cup of coffee or Taiwanese tea at one of the lakeside cafés with the temple complex as a scenic background.

See the pavilions from the peak of the nearby Dragon Tiger Tower. Enter through the dragon’s mouth and exit from the tiger, which signifies turning bad luck into good fortune. Learn about Taiwanese traditions and tales from the paintings on the walls of the animals’ interior.

The temple complex was built in 1951 and has associations with the Chi Ming Palace. Notice the statue of Guanyin, Goddess of Mercy, riding a dragon. It is inspired by a legend that claims she appeared above the clouds.

Find the Spring and Autumn Pavilions on the western shore of Lotus Pond in the heart of Kaohsiung. The site is just under half a mile (700 meters) north along Liantan Road from the Dragon Tiger Tower. There are nearby bus stops as well as Zuoying Railway Station.
