Century-Old Pond Introduction
The "ponds" have played an important role in the reclamation history of Sanwan. Due to the geographical conditions, the local irrigation water sources are situated at the end of the water flow, making it impossible to maintain a stable water supply. As a result, people excavated many ponds for agricultural cultivation. After the establishment of the Yonghe Mountain Reservoir, the importance of these ponds significantly diminished, and with the decline of agriculture over time, many of these ponds gradually disappeared. In recent years, the residents of Beipu Village have aimed to preserve this important landscape feature, transforming the pond culture into a leisure agricultural tourism attraction. Among them, the "Sanlian Pond" is the most significant, formed by the connection of three ponds: Guanyin Pond, Liwu Pond, and Dahuangpu Pond, which have been excavated for over a century. The revitalization of the ponds not only enhances the landscape of Beipu Village but also includes the construction of leisure walking and biking paths in the surrounding area, along with the planning of related activities to attract tourists for recreational agriculture and to appreciate the scenery of the water township.
