Introduction

Lianchi Lake, formerly known as Lianhua Lake, is located between the east side of Zuoying District, Kaohsiung City and the west side of the longitudinal railway, adjacent to Guishan in the south and backed by Banping Mountain in the north. The lake covers an area of about 42 hectares and is sourced from the Gaoping River. In the 25th year of the Kangxi reign (1686 AD), when the Confucius Temple was newly built, Lianchi Lake was used as a pond, and lotus flowers were planted in the lake. These enchanting flowers bloom in the scorching summer, exuding a charming fragrance. In the Qing Dynasty, Lianchi Lake was listed as one of the Eight Scenic Spots of Fengshan, known as "Panshuihe Xiang". When morning or evening falls, a thin mist rises from the surface of Lianchi Lake, and the scenery by the lake gradually becomes visible and disappears. This indescribable sense of mystery is unforgettable. At dusk, as the sun sets gradually, the unique shape of Banping Mountain and the reflection of Longhu Tower on the lake surface create a spectacular evening glow scene.
