Kaohsiung is the southern biggest city of Taiwan. Comparing with Taibei, it is more natural and native. It used to be an important harbor in Asia and has been developing a complex modern city including harbor, tourism, exhibition and service industries.   

New municipal library is just completed and opens to the public recently. 

There is a small green forest shaded for people who love reading in the front of the library.

There are 8 Chinese-style pagodas along two sides of Buddha statues integrated the ancient and modern, East and West. One side is numbered odd and the other is even.

Each pagoda has different meaning of buddism culture. For instance, many new couples would like to hold their wedding ceremonies in the following pagoda.

The three actions of goodness will help us purify our souls and minds. The first is to do Good Deeds, the second is to speak Good Words and the last is to think Good Thoughts.
