Nanhua Reservoir

Located to the east of Yushan Village in Nanhua Township, Nanhua Reservoir extends from Beiliu in Nanhua Township toward Jiaxien Township along the Provincial Highway No.20 (Southern Cross-Island Highway). Built in 1988 and completed in 1994, the water collection region of the reservoir occupies an area of 104 square kilometers, and the capacity of the reservoir is 158.05 million cubic meters. The reservoir mainly supplies water to the Tainan and Kaohsiung areas. It is both an utility and a tourism spot.

There are many waterfalls and river valley landscapes in Guanshan Village upstream of the reservoir. A cave is located inside a huge rock next to the pool formed by the Yaoqing Waterfall. You can see the other side of the reservoir everywhere on the 12 kilometer-long lakeside highway along Highway 175 towards Guanshan. The ancient Jaobanien Battlefield is located down the dyke of the reservoir. The Nanhua Township Office even built the Military History Park, the Environmental Park and the Waterfront Park there in the name of the Excursion of Origins Recreational Park. Mangos and long-ans are the major crops in the area, and their quality has earned the word of mouth since a long time ago. In spring, countless flowers blossom in the reservoir area, making it gorgeous and incomparable.
