Baoshao Second Reservor, dam in Baoshan, Hsinchu County, Taiwan
Baoshao Second Reservoir is a water storage basin in Taiwan. It holds water for the surrounding region and forms a large open water body set within the local countryside.
The reservoir was built as part of Taiwan's broader effort to secure water supply across its regions. It works alongside other nearby storage facilities, including the first Baoshao reservoir, to meet local demand.
Access to the reservoir grounds may be limited since it is an active water facility, so it is worth checking conditions before heading there. A daytime visit gives the clearest view of the water and the surrounding area.
The name "Baoshao Second" points to the existence of a first reservoir nearby, showing that the area is part of a coordinated water network rather than a single isolated facility. This kind of paired structure is common in Taiwan's water planning, where reliability matters greatly.
