Tainan Travel

Wushantou Reservoir (烏山頭水庫), known as “coral lake,” is a diverse tourist attraction with well-equipped camping areas and trails. The water in the reservoir is clean and the air is fresh, attracting many people to come for exercise and walking. Here, people are reminded of the considerable contributions of Japanese hydraulic engineer Hatta Yoichi (八田與一) to the Jianan region's farming irrigation. In addition to visiting the dormitories at the commemorative site, Hatta Yoichi's bronze statue is always adorned with offerings of flowers from Japanese tourists who pay homage to him. Every winter, in Sakura Park (櫻花公園) next to the statue, pink flowers bloom, making visitors feel like they are in a Japanese garden. The Love Stone area is a view of the lush sugar cane and countryside scenery brought by the waters of Jianan Irrigation Waterway (嘉南大圳). On the water there is now a solar powered sightseeing barge, which provides daily tours of Wushantou's (烏山頭) famous lake scenery. The boat wanders to the upper reaches of the dark green lake, islands scattered as in a dream. The site also contains a family water park with safe water facilities combined with barbecue and camping activities, making it an ideal family travel destination.
