Attraction Highlights | Where Faith Meets Scenery

Dragon and Tiger Pagodas | A Path to Ward Off Evil and Invite Good Fortune

Visitors enter through the dragon’s mouth and exit through the tiger’s mouth, symbolizing the warding off of evil and the welcoming of blessings. This is Lotus Pond’s most iconic landmark. The seven-story pagoda features traditional depictions of hell and heaven inside, offering both education and entertainment that families and international travelers love.

Spring and Autumn Pavilions & Guanyin Riding the Dragon | Legendary Architecture and Devotion

Dedicated primarily to Guan Yu (Lord Guan), the site is fronted by a commanding statue of Guanyin riding a dragon. Legend holds that Guanyin appeared to devotees and instructed them to build the temple—a favorite photo spot for culture lovers and photography travelers.



Xuanwu Emperor Statue | Southeast Asia’s Tallest Waterborne Deity

Standing 22 meters tall on the lake, the Xuanwu Emperor statue is truly awe-inspiring. A boat ride around the pond offers views from every angle, adding visual drama to the spiritual experience.

Lakeside Trail & Wuli Pavilion | Family- and Senior-Friendly Strolling Area

Wide cycling and pedestrian paths circle the lake amid lush greenery. Wuli Pavilion offers shade and lake views—the perfect place for families and seniors to unwind.
