The Longhu Pagoda is located by the Lianchi Pond in Zuoying District, Kaohsiung City. It was built in 1976 and is named after the carvings of dragons and tigers on its body. The Longhu Pagoda takes the dragon’s throat as the entrance and the tiger’s mouth as the exit, implying turning danger into safety by ‘entering through the dragon’s throat and exiting through the tiger’s mouth’.
