TUESDAY MARCH 8 2022
About a half hour Easty (Northy) of downtown Kaohsiung there is a pleasant lake called Chengcing Lake. There’s lots of very pleasant park area around it.
Here’s the 2-star hotel “Chengching Lakefront Resort right next to the Ocean Fantasy Museum.
The lake looks nice, but don’t touch
Ooh – Lions Club lion looks different than the one in Canada
There’s a nice walk along the edge of the lake with many things to see!
Check out the marvelous Nine-Cornered Bridge! I think corners are supposed to confuse ghosts, so they made the bridge zig-zaggy? Maybe? I guess watch out for ghosts when you’re not on the bridge.
Finally, the Ocean Fantasy Museum, built from a converted anti-nuclear underground bunker!! It’s fascinating as a piece of cold war history, and also as a fairly humdrum aquarium with sad animals.
And now, a gallery of sad sea creatures
Tragic octopus.
Here’s a video I found on youtube touring the facility:
In conclusion, the park and lake are lovely to visit and a nice walk. I found the museum fascinating due to its history, with kitschy art, but the octopus and other marine animals in small sterile cells made me feel sad inside. I feel like this would be a nice park to bike around if I had the chance.
