Lingshui Lake

Lingshui lake is located in the southwest coast of xiaojinmen, between Shangku village and Shangqi village. Local people say that originally it was a large low-lying area, which was often plagued by rain. So in 1963, the Danshui lake was dug up by the local garrison with manpower, covering an area of 386 hectares, about one kilometer long and 1.5 kilometers wide.

Introduction to scenic spots

During the excavation, the wetland was not only dug down, but also built three internal and external dikes. Since then, the local people have no longer suffered from the flood. There are two levees on the lake, which divide a perfect lake into three parts: inner, middle and outer. In the early Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was a salt field. It could strengthen defense in military, and it could be used for irrigation in economy. In tourism, it was also known as "Little West Lake" because of its beautiful scenery, overlooking Penang, Gulangyu, baishipao, etc. in mainland China.

Comparing the bird situation in Kinmen with that in Taiwan, the bird watching group found some interesting phenomena, including that there are more land birds in Taiwan and more water birds in Kinmen. Therefore, there will be more harvest in places with water. Secondly, among the migratory birds in Taiwan, there are many Meng birds, such as red bellied eagle, grey faced eagle and owl. However, there are no Meng birds of this kind in Kinmen, which is very consistent with the bird ecological structure of many small islands. The beauty of Lingshui lake lies not only in the green water of the lake, but also in the pines and willows on the bank, and the reeds on the shoal. The Yellow tailed Robin and black throated Robin, the winter migratory birds in the nearby fields, visit Lingshui lake according to the season, and walk to Lingshui lake. The chill, the war preparation runway, the setting sun, the cattle, and the small bridge make the noisy birdsong a music of their own, which is worth your careful taste.
