Day 6 - Part 1 - Lotus Lake

The first part of today we took a local train to Lotus Lake. It is surrounded by 9 temples. The temples were beautiful, but the lake was missing! It had been drained. Kaohsuing is hosting the 2009 World Games, and the city is preparing many areas for the games. Lotus Lake will have dragon boat races and waterskiing. At the Confucius Temple we had a delicious lunch. That said for the past week we have eaten our way thru Taiwan and have yet to hit a bad meal!
