Agongdian Reservoir

This long-established scenic area in Kaohsiung, renowned for its tranquil environment, consistently draws visitors on holidays and has remained popular over the years. Agongdian Reservoir is situated in the upper-middle reaches of the Agongdian River, spanning the Yanchao and Tianliao districts of Kaohsiung City. Its construction began during the Japanese colonial period, making it Taiwan's longest-running and first completed multi-purpose reservoir. Its natural lake and mountain scenery, coupled with its serene environment, imbue this functional reservoir with a captivating tourist appeal.
