Sightseeing: Lotus Pond and Pier 2

It was time once again to hop on the bike and ride around the Lotus Pond. Unfortunately, the Tiger–Dragon Pagoda was under scaffolding. Inside, it felt like walking through a roller coaster. It's also important to know which side you enter and exit to avoid any misfortune. Fortunately, this is well marked.

On the way to the next spot, I had to transfer on the subway. This worked out nicely, as the Formosa Boulevard station is home to the Dome of Light. Essentially, this is brightly lit, and several times a day, a 15-minute light show takes place there.

Afterward, I headed to Pier 2, where galleries, museums, and small shops can be found in former warehouses.
