Niu Chiao Wan Ecological Park Introduction
Niuchou Bay Marsh was built during the Japanese occupation period and was originally used for irrigation storage. It covers an area of over ten hectares and is rich in aquatic resources. However, due to environmental changes and a lack of management, it became dirty and chaotic, significantly impacting the local ecological environment, and its area shrank to only 6.3 hectares. Subsequently, with the active mobilization of local residents and the collaborative efforts of the county and city governments, a comprehensive renovation was carried out between 2003 and 2004, based on the goals of "Blue Niuchou Bay, a new paradise for fishing; Green Niuchou Bay, a beautiful new world; Revitalized Niuchou Bay, a friendly new community." Approximately 3 hectares of projects were constructed, including a waterside plaza, garden lighting, a lookout tower, a lakeside wooden path, and green planting. Through the efforts of all parties, the current Niuchou Bay Marsh has become a beautiful new place, providing a great spot for local residents to relax and gather, boosting the nearby tourism industry, promoting rural leisure ecology in the entire region, renewing the emphasis on the nearby aquatic resources, and enhancing the quality of life for local residents.
