Kowloon Causeway Big Platform Introduction
The area has a flat terrain, therefore a water platform has been set up for use as an open-air small performance space. The platform is designed in a wave shape to symbolize the姿態 of the dragons in the Nine Dragons' Play. To enhance the water experience, a perforated grille design has been specially incorporated at the outer edge of the arc to create an aquatic platform, allowing visitors to closely feel the waves and the refreshing splash of water during high water levels. Standing here, one can enjoy not only the floating fields on the water but also the distant views of the Ci'en Pagoda, Qinglong Mountain, and Erlong Mountain ranges. Located above the large platform at the mouth of the Nine Dragons, lies the Nine Dragons' Mouth, which is the junction to enter the water village of Sun Moon Lake or to head toward the fork in Idaschao. Sun Moon Lake was once known as "Dragon Lake." Geographical surveyors believe that the peninsulas extending from the surrounding mountains into the lake resemble living dragons diving into the waters, and in the center of the lake lies Lalu Island, originally known as "Zhu Yu," thus being referred to as "Nine Dragons Playing with Pearls." The lakeside is also home to numerous dragon-related place names, including Lunlong Ridge, Qinglong Mountain, and Erlong Mountain. The entry point via Highway 21 to the Sun Moon Lake area is therefore named Nine Dragons' Mouth.
