Jinlong Pagoda (Jinlong Baota) is a prominent multi-story columbarium located in the Dashu District of Kaohsiung, Taiwan. The facility serves as a memorial park providing niche and urn storage services for ancestral veneration. The structure is situated within a tranquil landscape overlooking the surrounding Dashu countryside. It features traditional Chinese architectural elements and Buddhist-inspired ornamentation throughout its levels. The seventh floor houses specific memorial altars and quiet spaces for reflection and commemorative ceremonies. The site is managed by the Daan group and operates as a permanent resting place for the deceased.
The external view of the pagoda from the lower mountain paths provides the best perspective of its scale against the hillside.
