澄清湖

Kaohsiung's biggest lake, a half-day stroll

Hours

Apr–Sep 06:00–18:00, Oct–Mar 06:00–17:30, closed Mondays

Address

Lakeside park in Niaosong, east of the city centre

This is the park around Kaohsiung's largest lake, with Chinese-style gardens, bridges and lakeside paths. A full loop on foot easily eats half a day. Where Lotus Pond is about temples, this one is about walking under trees. With kids you can add the small ocean exhibit inside the grounds.
