Golden Lion Lake (金獅湖蝴蝶園)
Golden Lion Lake / Jinshi Lake is situated in the upper reaches of the Love River in the northeast of Kaohsiung City. Originally known as "Dayu," it is located next to Lion's Head Mountain and is sourced from Dingjinzhen on the east side of the expressway.
Originally called "Hutoushanzi," Shishan was recognized as a spiritual site by the Kansei division after Taiwan's recovery. From the mountain's summit, one can enjoy a panoramic view of the lake and the green fields of BanpingShan, Shoushan, and Gaoping Plains, providing a refreshing and picturesque experience.
Jinshihu Park covers an area of 25 hectares, with approximately 11 hectares dedicated to the water area. The land area includes the lake peninsula and the hinterland on the north and south sides, totaling around 14 hectares.
Fudungjin Baoan Temple
Fudungjin Baoan Temple is located on the bank of Jinshi Lake. Its history can be traced back to 1883 when it was established as a Taoist temple dedicated to the three princes of Marshal. In 1851-1861, Dingjin residents welcomed the statue of Marshal, and in 1883, the temple was built. After World War II, it was reconstructed at the intersection of Xiang Road and Dingjinzhong Street in 1952. Following several renovations, it was eventually relocated to Jinshi Lake in 1998. The original site was converted into the Xiangke Building and market.
The temple features a palace-style architecture typical of northern China. The main hall houses the statue of Marshal, accompanied by the Virgin Mary in the right hall, the goddess of birth, the Zuodian Erlang God, Zhengshen, and others. On the third floor, there is the Taiyi Hall on the right, and the left hall venerates the sixty-year-old star. The fourth floor is occupied by the Lingbao Hall, dedicated to the Jade Emperor, accompanied by the Three Kingdoms. The bell and drum towers stand side by side, showcasing a generous and elegant design.
In the 1980s, the temple hall was completed under the guidance of Mr. Chen Qixian, who served as the director of the Kaohsiung City Poetry and Calligraphy Society.
