Dapo Pond

Taitung Attractions

Dapo Pond Introduction

Dapo Pond, also known as Chishang Dapi, primarily receives its water source from the subsurface flow of the Xinwulu River and the overflow from the irrigation ditches of nearby rice paddies. The water flows out through the drainage outlet to the north, becoming one of the sources of the Xiuguluan River. Dapo Pond is also a precious wetland that hosts numerous species, with many unique plants growing in the surrounding area, often attracting special birds or animals to reside here. Every year in July and August, a large "Bamboo Raft Season" event is held, with bamboo raft experience activities taking place every weekend, providing a culturally rich and enjoyable way to explore the lake. Visitors can leisurely admire the beautiful scenery while drifting on bamboo rafts amidst the lotus leaves, as if experiencing a journey back in time.
