Meihua Lake, Recreational lake in Dongshan Township, Taiwan
Meihua Lake is a recreational water body in Dongshan Township featuring a small island at its center connected to shore by a suspension bridge. Walking and cycling paths circle the perimeter with rest areas distributed along the route.
The lake was originally called Dapi Lake before being renamed in the 1970s following a presidential visit. This change marked a significant shift in how the place was known locally.
Local fishermen maintain traditional practices on the lake, with boats regularly spread across the waters as they practice their craft.
Access to the lake and its paths is free and straightforward, with clear signage at main entry points. The best times to visit are early morning or late afternoon when light conditions are favorable.
The water naturally forms a pattern resembling a five-petaled plum blossom, which directly shaped the naming decision. This distinctive shape becomes most apparent when viewed from the water.
