遠望坑親水公園-步道

Visitors can play on the lush green lawn or splash in the crystal-clear stream at the entrance parking lot, or climb up to the high wooden pavilion to overlook the quaint terraced fields and the natural ecological pond. Following the stone pathway along the stream, you will arrive at a tranquil pond, where a charming arch bridge and a double pavilion stand. Crossing the arch bridge to get to the viewing bridge, you can see the crystal-clear stream teeming with groups of Formosan rock macquerel and bitterling fish, creating a spectacular sight. You might choose to sit quietly at the double pavilion on the water, with the clear lake reflecting the pavilions and the shadows of trees, alongside swarms of fish and vibrant lotus flowers. This serene valley landscape is reminiscent of a fairyland. When you are here, you might as well try your hand at the water pump and the waterwheel to fully experience the joys of rural life.
