Jincheng Lake Introduction
Jincheng Lake, located near the mouth of the Kejia River in Hsinchu, was originally named Devil's Pond. It was initially silted up but has been restored, making it an important resting place for wild birds in northern Taiwan. There are at least 250 bird species here, which has become its biggest attraction. The intertidal zone is home to many marine creatures, filled with fish, crabs, shellfish, and more. Jincheng Lake is a major stop for migratory birds, and the lake and embankment are the best places for birdwatching, with the optimal time for birdwatching from September to May each year. Jincheng Lake is the best birdwatching spot in the Gangnan area, and birdwatching enthusiasts should not miss it.
