Meihua Lake

Initially known as Dapi, Meihua Lake is situated in De-an Village of Dongshan Township (Great Lake). It is a natural reservoir that is surrounded on three sides by mountains. President Chiang Ching Kuo visited the region in the 1970s, and while there, he was particularly taken by the lake's likeness to a plum flower with five petals. He gave it the name Meihua (plum blossom) Lake as a result. Meihua Lake is situated on a large area of land and is surrounded on three sides by lush mountains, providing stunning views. There are around 20 hectares of lake surface in total. A trail circles the lake, allowing guests to wander calmly around and take in the beautiful landscape. Along the trail, cherry and willow trees have been planted, enhancing the lake's allure. A suspension bridge connects a small island in the lake's center to the circumferential route, offering a stunning vista.

To appreciate the surrounding landscape, take a stroll around Meihua Lake. You can take in the unspoiled environment by strolling along the trail or by renting a bike and riding around the lake on two wheels. The stores along the road going to the tiny but lovely lake sell snacks and beverages, so you may have a picnic there. On one side of the lake, relax in a cafe. Then, take a boat to the other side to see a little temple.
