Sun Moon Lake Dazhuhu Trail Introduction
The Dazhuhu Nature Trail, only 180 meters long, is the shortest trail by Sun Moon Lake. Entering from the parking lot below the highway, there is an observation deck not far ahead. To the right side of the observation deck, a path leads down to the lake's edge, where beneath the trail is a roaring water outlet, known as the famous attraction of Sun Moon Lake - the Sun Moon Spring. In fact, this is the outlet of the Wujie Water Diversion, which was excavated during the Japanese occupation. The Japanese dug a tunnel connecting Wujie Village in Ren'ai Township directly to Sun Moon Lake to bring water from the upper reaches of the Zhuoshui River into the lake as a stable water source. The waterbird wetland - Over the years, sediment accumulation has gradually led to the shallow and overgrown area filled with reeds, an important habitat for fish and shrimp, as well as a resting place for herons, night herons, and kingfishers. During the migratory season, it becomes a spectacular sight with flocks of migratory ducks and geese.
