Deji Reservoir

　　The Deji Reservoir is located in Lishan Village, Heping Township, Taichung. Its thin hyperbolic arch dam is one of the top ten dams in the world, standing 180 meters tall in total, making it one of Asia’s tallest. The reservoir forms an expansive, goose-egg-shaped lake covering 592 square kilometers. The water color shifts from light green around the edges to dark green, deep green, dark blue, and finally blue-black, creating ever-changing hues that inspire different moods and imaginations whether viewed from afar or up close. Visitors wishing to enjoy the scenery of Deji Reservoir can get off at the Deji Control Station, then walk down the adjacent road to take in the majestic dam and the emerald-like lake surrounded by mountain vistas.
