During the Japanese colonial period, the Japanese dug an underground tunnel from Wujie Tribal Community in Ren'ai Township directly to Sun Moon Lake to channel water from the headwaters of the Zhuoshui River into Sun Moon Lake as a stable water source. The Waterbird Wetland - Due to years of sediment accumulation, it has gradually become shallow and grown with reeds, making it an important habitat for fish and shrimp to breed and live. It is also a habitat for herons, night herons, and kingfishers. During migratory bird season, it becomes a spectacular sight with flocks of geese and ducks.
