Niuchouwan Wetland Ecological Park Introduction
Niu Chiao Wan Pond was built during the Japanese colonial period and was used for irrigation storage. It covers an area of over ten hectares and is rich in aquatic resources. However, with the gradual changes in the environment and a lack of management, it became dirty and messy, severely impacting the local ecological environment, and its area shrank to only 6.3 hectares. Later, with the active mobilization of local residents and the cooperation of county and city governments, a comprehensive renovation was carried out in 2003 and 2004, based on the goals of "Blue Niu Chiao Wan, a new paradise for fishing; Green Niu Chiao Wan, a beautiful new world; Revitalizing Niu Chiao Wan, a friendly new community." The project included the construction of a waterfront plaza, garden lighting, an observation deck, a lakeside wooden walkway, and greenery for about 3 hectares. Thanks to the efforts of all parties, the current Niu Chiao Wan Pond has transformed into a beautiful new place. It not only provides a great spot for local residents to relax and gather but also boosts the nearby tourism industry and promotes the rural recreational ecology of the entire area, revitalizing attention to the aquatic resources nearby and enhancing the local quality of life.
