Jincheng Lake Introduction
Jincheng Lake, located near the mouth of the Keziah River in Hsinchu, was originally known as Devil's Pond. It was once silted up but has been restored, making it a crucial resting site for wild birds in northern Taiwan. There are at least 250 species of birds, which has become a major feature of the area. The intertidal zone is home to many marine organisms, filled with fish, crabs, and shellfish. Jincheng Lake is a significant stopover for many migratory birds, and the best birdwatching spots are along the lake and the dike, with the peak birdwatching period occurring from September to May each year. Jincheng Lake is the premier birdwatching destination in the Gangnan area, and birdwatching enthusiasts should not miss it.
