Yunlin Attractions

從空中鳥瞰椬梧滯洪池

Xuwu Flood Detention Pond is known as the "Taiwan version of Sun Moon Lake," located in Kouhu, Yunlin. Although it lacks the picturesque mountain and water reflections of Sun Moon Lake, it boasts a rich wetland ecosystem. Originally part of a sugarcane plantation owned by Taiwan Sugar Corporation, it transformed into a lake due to seawater inundation during typhoons, with water accumulating for years. The tranquil Xuwu Flood Detention Pond is divided into the North Pond and South Pond, with a bicycle path along the lakeshore, allowing visitors to comfortably explore this hidden gem. The park features several scenic viewpoints and pavilions for tourists to rest, as well as an ecological island situated in the lake and a floating dock with unobstructed views, making it a popular spot for photos. Xuwu Flood Detention Pond not only serves as a flood control measure but also offers stunning lake vistas, and its rich ecological resources have made it a paradise for birdwatching. It is also an excellent place for nearby residents to ride bikes, jog, walk, and enjoy the lakeside scenery.
