Standing on the top of the dam to view the reservoir from a far distance is very
smoothing. Going further, you will arrive at the highest view-watching spot in the
reservoir-the Jhongjheng Building. So far people have to climb up the stairs.
Nevertheless, once the costly outdoor elevators and the view-watching hanging bridges
are finished, it will be much more comfortable and convenient to enjoy the sight. The
outlook of their steel structures really catches peoples'eyes. The elevators
are more
than 20 meters high. The hanging bridge is 30 meters long. They will be the landmarks
of the Zengwun Reservoir for sure. |

People used to feed fish in box nets in Zengwun Reservoir, so there are a lot of fish in
the water: President Fish, Bamboo-Shoot-Crust Fish, Wuliou Fish, Tiger Fish, etc. Since
the opening of the fishing area on the shore, fresh fish have been the favorite for people
who love to eat them. Restaurants by the water take good advantage of that and supply
delicious reservoir fish dishes at fair prices. Many people go there just for the reason.
Besides the view in Zengwun Reservoir, to dine on the reservoir fish here is also quite a
joy.
Zengwun Reservoir Scenic Spot is a beautiful place full of recreational facilities. It is
good for families to have fun here. After visiting the pretty mountain and water at the
Zengwun Reservoir, you may also stop by the Dapu Township to see the landscapes
there and taste its local special products. |
