Tianchi, located in the Taoyuan District of Kaohsiung City, is about 2,280 meters above sea level. It is a natural mountain lake formed by faults, collapses, soil and the accumulation of rocks, rain and snow. The lake not only provides water for travelers but is also an important sustaining resource for wildlife. To get there, climb up the stone steps from the back of the Changqing Temple at the 135 km point of the Southern Cross-island Highway. Alternatively, start from Zhongzhiguan parking lot and walk along the Zhongzhiguan Historic Trail. In recent years, religious people have burned paper money and held release ceremonies here, leaving behind creatures and wastes that do not belong here, which greatly affects water quality and ecology.
