Niu Tiao Wan Ecological Park Introduction
Niu Chou Bay Pond was built during the Japanese colonial period and was originally used for irrigation storage. It covers an area of over ten hectares and boasts abundant aquatic resources. However, with the changing environment and lack of management, it has become polluted and its area has shrunk to only 6.3 hectares. Later, with the active mobilization of local people and cooperation from the city and county governments, efforts were made based on the goal of “Blue Niu Chou Bay, a new paradise for fishing; Green Niu Chou Bay, a beautiful new world; Revitalized Niu Chou Bay, a friendly new community.” Between 2003 and 2004, thorough renovations were carried out, including the construction of a waterfront square, garden lighting, a lookout tower, a lakeside boardwalk, and green landscaping—totaling about 3 hectares of work. Thanks to everyone's efforts, the current Niu Chou Bay Pond has become a beautiful new place, providing local residents with a great spot for leisure and gatherings, while also boosting nearby tourism and promoting the entire region's rural leisure ecology, reinvigorating attention to nearby aquatic resources, and enhancing the local quality of life.
