a glimpse at wulai 1

Wulai (pronounced as ulay) is a rural townships in southern Taipei County in north Taiwan (ROC). It sits near the border with Taipei and is famous for its hot springs. The name of the town derives from the Atayal phrase kirofu ulai meaning "hot and poisonous".
i've been there two times but still want to come back  to see more of its beauty and to enjoy the nature(im a nature lover!!!)... it's a nice place to visit and worth the time hiking reaching the highest top of the mountain on the other side using its cable car or gondola  not to mention the thousand bucks you got to spend visiting the place...allow me to share some of my photos .(click the pictures to enlarge)

lotus pond in kaohsiung

let me share with y0u a bit history and s0me ph0tos we took last may at the lotus p0nd here in kaohsiung taiwan.s0rry for th0se ugly faces hahaha,i just d0n't want to edit anything anym0re c0z im pretty busy to do that.oh! by the way,we went there with papu(my niece cousin)he really enjoyed the place,and the ice cream we bought for him... So there y0u go!enjoy!

Lotus Pond, named after the aquatic plants growing in it, is located in eastern Zuoying District.One of the more famous temples is the Confucius Temple to the west of the lake, the biggest of its kind on Taiwan.Architecturally similar to examples from the Song Dynasty, the temple features an arched bridge and an embossed bronze wall profiling Confucius.Other prominent landmarks around Lotus Lake are the Dragon Tiger Towers with their relief carvings illustrating twenty-four stories of filial piety, twelve men of virtue, and the thirty-six generals of the Emperor of Heaven.The ancient Zuoying North Gate is also nearby.As the first gate built with earth and stone in Kaohsiung, it is historically significant and worth visiting.
