Lotus Pond is a lake adorned with grand temples that light up at night. Found in Kaohsiung, this spot features lotus plants on the lake and the Spring and Autumn Pavilions.

Perhaps one of the most popular spots to visit in Taiwan, Taipei buzzes with life both day and night. Dominating the skyline is Taipei 101, a skyscraper that was once the world’s tallest building until the construction of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.
