Shih Shui Keng Leisure Agricultural Area Introduction
Shui Shuei Creek is one of the tributaries of the Dajia River, with a length of about 15 kilometers. It not only provides drinking water and irrigation for farmland but also hosts a variety of aquatic plants and animals, making it a rich and diverse ecological resource. It serves as a natural ecological classroom and is an excellent place to experience nature. The Shui Shuei Leisure Agriculture Area combines the diverse ecology and recreational resources of the region, including famous attractions such as the Scenic Wooden Bridge, Lover's Bridge, the Wufulinmen Sacred Tree, and the Tree King Botanical Garden. The Shihnong Plaza, located next to Lover's Bridge, features Shihnong Coffee and is one of the important attractions in the Shui Shuei Leisure Agriculture Area, which also includes a riverside viewing platform. The Shihnong Coffee Restaurant, situated next to Lover's Bridge, is designed in a Mediterranean style with a combination of sea blue and pure white, creating a simple and inviting atmosphere reminiscent of a foreign countryside. The Lover's Bridge, spanning Shui Shuei Creek, is a 40-meter-long and 3.5-meter-wide wooden bridge known for its unique feature of having no supporting piers. Made of imported large logs from North America, it was constructed under the guidance of American technicians who introduced seismic-resistant techniques for laminated wooden bridges. The bridge lights up at night, creating a romantic ambiance, and a riverside viewing platform is also located nearby. The Dongfeng Bicycle Greenway offers beautiful scenery and has become one of the popular leisure travel spots in Taichung City. Riding a bicycle allows you to enjoy the natural landscapes of Shui Shuei, traveling through a green tunnel and finding solace in nature. Themed events include "Pear Tasting in Shigang" - reminiscent of love, seasonal agricultural themes - activities such as the "I Love You Happy Flower Sea," fruit-picking experiences, and coffee experiences. Products produced in the area include ponkan mandarin, loquats, grapes, high-grafted pears, and peaches.
