Five and more temples of Kaohsiung - Dragon Tiger Tower

Today I am ready to experience some Chinese culture and I am heading to see temples. There is area near Lotus pond, where many temples are located. I could only manage to visit six of them. Every temple is different and need at least a day to explore this area.

First temple or pagoda is Dragon Tiger Tower. Pictures of these two pagodas usually can be seen in tourist brochures about Kaohsiung. When approaching temple have to fight off post card sellers.

Have to enter dragon and come out from tiger. Inside is donation box - after giving donation can receive small card with picture of pagodas, which is nice memory.

There were no other tourists inside pagodas. So, I was rushing to enjoy it in silence (yeah, major tourist attraction in Kaohsiung was just for me). See pictures and views from pagodas in the video.
