Lakeside Park Introduction
Lingshui Lake is the largest freshwater lake in Lieyu (Little Kinmen), created through human excavation. The lakeside nurtures rich aquatic plant resources, making it a habitat for various bird species, such as geese, white-browed water hens, and cormorants, especially during winter migratory seasons. It is the most ecologically rich wetland in Little Kinmen. In summer, one can often see numerous birds resting in the lush greenery, with willows swaying in the breeze and the expansive lake view providing a sense of peace and tranquility. In winter, Lingshui Lake becomes an important birdwatching site, with the peak migratory season occurring from November to January of the following year. This includes species from the Anatidae family, such as the red-necked duck, the red-breasted merganser, and the black-crowned night heron, along with cormorants and white-browed water hens. The number of cormorants is particularly high, often resulting in scenes of these birds clustered along the lakeside casuarinas. With over 60 species of birds, the area frequently attracts many birdwatching enthusiasts. If you are looking forward to an in-depth migratory bird journey, Lingshui Lake is definitely a great choice for winter travel in Kinmen!
