Overview
Built in 1976, the Dragon and Tiger Pagodas are a signature sight at Lotus Pond, and tradition says that entering through the dragon's mouth and exiting through the tiger's mouth brings good fortune. The two 7-story pagodas are decorated inside with murals depicting Chinese legends and the Thirty-Six Filial Exemplars, accessed by crossing the zigzag Nine-Turns Bridge over the water. On clear days the pagodas' reflections in the pond are spectacular. Free admission. About a 15-minute walk from MRT Zuoying Station.
Opening Hours
08:00-17:00 daily (free admission)
Travel Tips
Be sure to enter through the dragon and exit through the tiger (a feng shui tradition). Lakeside views at sunset are the most beautiful.
