Agongdian Reservoir

Agongdian Reservoir is a place that everyone in Kaohsiung has heard of. However, as a senior Kaohsiung resident, I don’t think I have ever been here. This place is very suitable for taking children for a walk, and it is also suitable for a stroll in the evening. Although everyone is familiar with the Agongdian Reservoir, we still need to briefly introduce the reservoir information to everyone. The Agongdian Reservoir is located on the Agongdian River at the junction of the eastern foot of Xiaogang Mountain in Yanchao District, Kaohsiung City and Gangshan District and Tianliao District. The main function is flood control and farmland irrigation. It is also the earliest reservoir completed in Taiwan after World War II, which means that it was built during the Japanese occupation era. The construction of the reservoir lasted for 12 years. Of course, it is also the longest and earliest completed multi-purpose reservoir in Taiwan. The dam is 2.38 kilometers long, which was once the longest in the Far East. It is the longest dam in Taiwan. The lake area of ​​the reservoir is 600 hectares. The central spillway adopts a "skylight-style" vortex outlet, which is discharged to the Agongdian River through a dark pipe tunnel. The trumpet mouth protruding from the water surface is very distinctive. #2023travelwish #mytripvlog #tripblazers
