Dahu Park Introduction
Dahu Park, also known as White Egret Lake due to the large number of white egrets present, is adjacent to White Egret Mountain and offers views of Wuzhishan and Zhongyong Mountain. It occupies an area of approximately 13 hectares. Built in 1979 in the style of Chinese gardens, Dahu Lake covers an area of about 10 hectares and serves as a regional park. The park features a variety of plants, including bald cypress, golden shower tree, Taiwanese soapberry, and azaleas, which bloom seasonally, adding different colors to the landscape. Visitors can often see egrets, night herons, and ducks at the lakeside, as well as seasonal birds like the gray heron and great egret. The rich ecology attracts many families to the park to enjoy nature. Additionally, the park is home to various charming facilities, such as the Golden Bell Bridge and the Nine Turn Bridge, as well as the Water Pavilion. The Golden Bell Bridge has been voted one of the most beautiful bridges in the world, and its arch shape reflects beautifully in the lake, drawing many photography enthusiasts hoping to capture an ink-wash painting-like scenery. The Nine Turn Bridge, named for its nine twists and thirteen turns, is another unique feature that attracts visitors. The Water Pavilion is a two-story gazebo from which visitors can photograph the Wenhu Line MRT train and enjoy views of the entire park. At Dahu Park, visitors can escape the hustle and bustle, stroll through scenic areas, walk along the willow-lined lakeside path taking in the picturesque water and mountain views, wander through the bald cypress forest to absorb the essence of nature, and enjoy the scent of fresh grass. Additionally, activities such as fishing, picnicking, and swimming can be pursued, and when combined with hiking in the nearby mountains, Dahu Park becomes an ideal spot for a half-day or full-day outing.
