Dahu Park Introduction
Dahu Park, also known as White Egret Lake due to the presence of numerous white egrets, is adjacent to White Egret Mountain and overlooks Wuzhi Mountain and Zhongyong Mountain. It covers an area of approximately 13 hectares. Established in the 68th year of the Republic of China, it imitates classic Chinese gardens, with the lake area spanning about 10 hectares, classifying it as a regional park. The park features various plant species, including bald cypress, golden shower tree, Taiwan acacia, and azaleas, which bloom in succession, adding different colors to the park's spaces. Visitors often spot white egrets, night herons, and ducks along the lakeside, as well as seasonal birds like herons and great egrets, making the rich ecology a draw for many families to enjoy nature. The park also includes various antique-style facilities, such as the Rainbow Bridge and Nine-Curve Bridge, as well as the Waterside Pavilion. The Rainbow Bridge has been voted one of the most beautiful bridges in the world, with its arch shape and reflections on the lake attracting many photographers aiming to capture scenes resembling ink wash paintings. The Nine-Curve Bridge, named for its nine twists and thirteen turns, is another reason many tourists visit the park due to its unique design. The Waterside Pavilion is a two-story gazebo from which visitors can view the MRT Wenhu Line train and enjoy a panoramic view of the park. Visiting Dahu Park allows guests to escape the hustle and bustle, appreciate scenic beauty, stroll along the willow-lined lakeshore pathway, immerse themselves in the bald cypress forest while absorbing the essence of nature, and enjoy the scent of fresh grass. Activities such as fishing, picnicking, and swimming are also available, making it an ideal spot for half-day or full-day excursions, especially when combined with hiking activities in the nearby mountains.
