Emei Lake Introduction

At the junction of Fuxing Village and Huguang Village in Emei Township, Hsinchu County, Emei Lake features a vast and beautiful landscape of lake and mountains. It is also the first reservoir in the country designed and built by locals - Dapu Reservoir, making it a place rich in natural resources and cultural atmosphere. To facilitate transportation for nearby residents, five suspension bridges were once built across Emei Lake. Although only the Ximaopu Suspension Bridge remains, connecting the Shierliao Leisure Park and Fuxing Old Street, the bridge tower adorned with tung flowers and the breathtaking views of Emei Lake from the bridge have become representative features of Emei Lake and are a must-visit for travelers. At Emei Lake, visitors can not only overlook the lake from the suspension bridge but also quietly enjoy the ecology of water birds such as herons and night herons along the lakeshore trail. The beautiful sight of yellow trumpet trees blooming in March and April, as well as the migration of cormorants in autumn and winter, adds to its charm. In appreciation of the local gentleman, Mr. Yu Jinkui, for assisting with the construction of the trail, there is a section named "Uncle Yu’s Bridge" along the pathway. Exploring more nearby attractions, there are many other spots around Emei Lake worth savoring, such as the Maitreya Buddha in the Cultural World of Nature, Fuxing Old Street which preserves tea-making history, Shierliao Leisure Agricultural Area, and the Shierliao Hiking Trail, all of which are worth visiting after exploring Emei Lake.
