Yanshuipi Reservoir
Yanshuipi Reservoir is a large water storage basin in Taiwan, constructed with earthen banks and concrete walls to contain the water. The open landscape surrounding the water allows visitors to see the full expanse and observe how the water level changes with the seasons.
The reservoir was built several decades ago to support local agriculture and provide water for surrounding communities. Since its construction, it has played an important role in irrigating farms and sustaining the region's development.
The reservoir's name reflects the importance of water management in local farming traditions. Visitors can see how the water serves as the backbone of agricultural life in the surrounding communities.
Simple paths lead around the reservoir, making it easy to walk and observe the water from different angles. The area is best visited in early morning or late afternoon when the surroundings are quietest and light conditions are most pleasant.
The water surface acts like a mirror, reflecting the sky and clouds in ways that change throughout the day and season. This reflection transforms the visual experience with each visit, creating different moods depending on weather and light.
