Confucius Temple

The temple is built reflecting the style of the Sung Dynasty Shandong Confucious Temple, and the Tacheng Hall that forms the main building imitates the Taihe Hall from the Forbidden City in Beijing. It is a magnificent structure that conveys the full majesty and wisdom of the 1,000 years old Confucian philosophy. The Chinese people consider Confucius to be the greatest teacher. September 28th is Teacher's Day, which marks Confucius' birthday. It is celebrated with a solemn ceremony conducted according to ancient ritual.

Chouchai Wetland Park

After much petitioning to the Kaohsiung City Government's Public Works Bureau, the park has been adopted by the Wetlands Taiwan, and now it is the location of the "The return of the Pheasant-Tailed Jacana Project". The land was prepped and water was into the area to create a man-made wetland environment. Now many wetland creatures inhabit the area, such as aquatic insects, mollusks, fish and reptiles. The birds have also returned to the Chouchai Wetland Park, making it a park with a rich and diverse ecology.

Banping Lake Wetland Park

The area around the park used to be a geological limestone mountain called Mount Banping. It used to be an important source of Taiwan's limestone ore needs. In 1997, the mining activities ceased to operate and the mining area began to recover to its original condition. Several years later, the government carried out a conservation plan to protect the soil and water for the abandoned mine area. After years of restorative afforestation and rehabilitation, the mountain slowly regained its original beauty.

In 2004, the Kaohsiung Association of Hydraulic Engineers was commissioned by Kaohsiung City Government to execute an evaluation of the possibility of using the Chien Tai Cement Company's grit chamber area at the southern side of Banping Mountain for a wetland park. The result of the evaluation was positive and that in 2005 the City Government budgeted for and built up a nature park at the foot of the northwestern side of the mountain. They also afforested and constructed five flood-detention grit chambers at the southern side of the mountain foot. Man-made wetlands were also created to effectively function as grit-removal and flood-detention bodies.
