Visiting Hushan Dam

Hushan Dam (湖山水庫管理中心)

Built in 2015, Hushan Reservoir is Taiwan's newest reservoir. The serene trails within the reservoir area create the impression of an ecological green corridor, offering insights into local culture, water conservancy history, and the reservoir's construction process. On days with clear weather, visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of the Douliu Plain and even the distant coastline from both Qianshan Park and the observation deck.
Hushan Reservoir holds the distinction of being the first reservoir in Yunlin County and the initial off-trough reservoir in Taiwan. It is situated in Douliu City and Gukeng Township, Yunlin County, boasting a substantial water storage capacity of 52.18 million metric tons, ranking it tenth among reservoirs in Taiwan. Originally, appointments were required to visit the reservoir. However, in response to the leisure needs of Yunlin residents, it was opened to the public in February 2018. Stretching approximately three kilometers in length, it provides an opportunity to revel in the tranquility of nature.

The Hushan Reservoir Management Center is strategically located at the southwest entrance of Hunanba, the mountainous area where Douliu City and Gukeng Township meet in Yunlin County. The reservoir draws water from the Meilin Creek, Beigang Creek in Yunlin County, and the Qingshui Creek in Nantou County.
The Lake Management Center comprises an exhibition hall on the first floor and a multimedia room on the second floor, equipped to showcase promotional videos pertaining to the Hushan Reservoir construction project, the ecological conservation measures in the surrounding area, and the preservation and utilization of water resources.
