Chengcing Lake Scenic Area

The Chengcing Lake is located at the Niaosong District of Kaohsiung City, and originally was the industrial water source for the Kaohsiung area. The Lake was originally named Dabei Lake and Dapi Lake, and rehabilitation of the Lake began in the 43rd year of the Republic of China before being re-opened as a scenic area from the 48th year till the 52nd year of the ROC. Former President Chiang Kai Shek saw how clear the waters were, and renamed it to its current name of “Chengcing (Clear in Chinese) Lake.” The surface area of the Lake is 103 hectares, and is praised for being “Taiwan’s West Lake.” Chengcing Lake is divided into three areas: the scenic area, water source area, and recreation area. Apart from the water source area not being available to the public, the rest of the areas is available to visitors.
