Centennial Ponds Introduction
The "pools" played an important role in the reclamation history of Sanwan. Due to geographical reasons, the irrigation water sources here are at the end of the system, unable to maintain a fixed water volume. Therefore, at that time, people dug many pools for agricultural cultivation. After the Yonghe Mountain Reservoir was constructed, the importance of the pools diminished. Additionally, as agriculture decreased with the changing times, these pools gradually disappeared. In recent years, to preserve this important landscape characteristic, the residents of Beipu Village have developed the pool culture into a leisure agricultural tourism destination. Among them, the "SanLien Pool" is the most extensive, formed by the connection of Guanyin Pool, Liwu Pool, and Dahuangpu Pool, which has been excavated for over a hundred years. The restoration of the pools not only embellishes the landscape of Beipu Village but also adds leisure walking and cycling paths in the surrounding area, while planning related activities to attract tourists to experience leisure agriculture and appreciate the scenery of the water town countryside.
