Wanxing Temple on Chenggong Rd, Kaohsiung.
I'm a big fan of temples. This is a fairly typical temple, so if temples aren't your thing, it's probably not worth stopping here, but I liked it. If you go, check out the second floor. It's dedicated to Qingshui （清水祖師）, a Chinese Buddhist monk who was born in 1037 (or 1047) and saved a town from a drought. After his death he was deified as a Chinese folk god. He's very popular in Taiwan.
Temple names are usually (always?) written right to left.
Hallway
Second floor outside area.
Small room on the second floor.
To go here:
It's on Chenggong Road between Guangfu 2nd Rd and Guangfu 3rd Rd.
MRT Central Park, walk through the park to Zhonghua Rd. Guangfu 3rd Rd is off of Zhonghua opposite the park, walk west towards the river until you hit Chenggong Rd, take a left and the temple is on your right.
