Century-Old Ponds Introduction
The "ponds" once played an important role in the reclamation history of Sanwan. Due to the terrain, the irrigation water sources here belong to the end of the system and cannot maintain a fixed water volume, so people at that time excavated many ponds for agricultural cultivation. After the construction of the Yonghe Mountain Reservoir, the importance of the ponds diminished, and with agriculture decreasing as times changed, these ponds gradually disappeared. In recent years, in order to preserve this important landscape characteristic, residents of Beipu Village have transformed the cultural features of the ponds into leisure agricultural tourism attractions, among which the "Sanlian Pond" is the largest, formed by the connection of Guanyin Pond, Liwu Pond, and Dahuangpu Pond, which has been excavated for over a hundred years. The revitalization of the pond landscape not only embellishes the appearance of Beipu Village but also includes the construction of leisure walking paths and bike paths in the surrounding area, as well as planning related activities to attract tourists to experience leisure agriculture and appreciate the scenery of the water town and rural life.
