從空中鳥瞰椬梧滯洪池

Xuwu Flood Control Reservoir, known as the "Yunlin version of Sun Moon Lake," is located in Kouhu, Yunlin. Although it lacks the picturesque mountain and water reflections of Sun Moon Lake, it boasts rich wetland ecological scenery. Originally a sugarcane field belonging to Taiwan Sugar Corporation, it transformed into the lake seen today due to seawater flooding during typhoons, causing long-term water accumulation. The tranquil Xuwu Flood Control Reservoir is divided into the North Pool and South Pool, with a bike path running along the lake allowing visitors to comfortably explore its hidden gems by bicycle. The park features several scenic viewpoints and pavilions for visitors to rest, as well as an ecological island standing in the lake and a floating dock with unobstructed views that are popular photo spots. It is an ideal destination to visit and appreciate the stunning scenery. Xuwu Flood Control Reservoir not only serves to prevent flooding but also showcases breathtaking lake views and rich ecological resources, making it a paradise for birdwatching and a great place for locals to bike, jog, walk, and enjoy the lake.
