Ayu Creek, Brook in Xizhi District, Taiwan
The clear waters of Ayu Creek flow through dense vegetation, providing a natural habitat for numerous fish species and water plants.
The creek received its name from the Ayu sweetfish that inhabited its waters until 1968, when local populations diminished due to environmental changes.
The Sanskrit origin of the name Ayu, meaning life or longevity, reflects the creek's role in sustaining local agricultural practices and traditions.
Visitors can access the creek through marked trails, with the best viewing conditions occurring during morning hours from September through January.
The creek maintains different water levels throughout seasons, creating various microhabitats that support distinct plant and animal communities.
