遠望坑親水公園-步道

Visitors can play in the lush green lawn or the clear stream at the entrance parking lot, or climb up to the elevated wooden pavilion to overlook the picturesque terraced fields and the natural ecological pond. Then, follow the stone path alongside the stream to reach a tranquil pond, where a small arched bridge and a twin pavilion stand. Cross the arch bridge to walk onto the viewing bridge above, where the crystal-clear water reveals schools of Taiwanese creek loaches and bitterling swimming in groups, creating a spectacular scene. Choose to sit at the twin pavilion over the water, where the clear lake reflects the pavilion and the shadows of trees, along with schools of fish and vividly blooming lotus flowers. This serene valley landscape resembles a paradise on earth. When you visit, you might as well try operating the water pump and stepping on the waterwheel to fully experience the joys of rural life.
