Aerial view of Kaohsiung City. 

A while ago Rob and I went to a lake here in Kaohsiung called Chengcing Lake. There was a very large park surrounding the lake with a lot of things to see including this sideways tower below (sorry it wouldn't let me load it right side up). Rob was so excited to climb it that we indeed climbed all 236 stairs to get to the top. While at the top, we could see a panoramic view of the city, and it was much larger than I had first thought. Here are a few pictures showing just how large the city really is. Our boss calls the area that we live in the country because it is much quieter and smaller than the surrounding areas. You can also see how big that park is. It was a really nice day exploring the park.
