Where is Jiuqiong Lake? Hsinzhu~
Where is the specific location? Don’t know~
How with its environment? Erm… as she know is beautiful~
What else she know about Jiuqiong Lake? Nothing ler~ XP
Aiyoyo~ That’s all you know??? Connie Chen realizes that she can’t do anything if she doesn’t know anything about Jiuqiong Lake. Apa boleh buat?
Never mind~ she has time to get more and more information because she will stay here for 6 weeks~ Haha~
The 1st thing she realizes is Jiuqiong Lake is much bigger than what she had imagined. She needs around 20 minutes to walk from the main entrance until the end of this place. This is the time taken to walk along main road, If want to visit each spot of Jiuqiong Lake…at least half day will be spent!!!
The 2nd thing is the location of Jiuqiong Lake~ She get know that Jiuqiong Lake located at Xinpu township and is under Jhaomen Recreation Agriculture District.
Jhaomen Recreation Agriculture District included two areas which are Jiuqiong Lake and Jianzhu Wo. This 300 hectares of valley region was formed by five hills, originally was Taokas people’s hunting area, this area developed by the Han Chinese afterwards. Their main activity is farming. Citrus and pears were their main crops. Jiuqiong Lake and Jianzhu Wo is simple and sincere Hakka tribe village.
Since 1990, Council of Agriculture Executive Yuan R.O.C., Soil and Water Conservation Bureau, Hsinchu County Government and Xinpu Township Office were coordinated with the rural development plan and depend on the strong spiritual and creativity of Hakka tribe, a beautiful and high quality farm and tourism place was formed. Jhaomen Recreation Agriculture District had elected as ten classic models of farming and fishing village at 1996.
In Hakka language, lake(湖) and Wo（窝）means the depression between the mountains, the wider depression called as lake（湖）and the narrow depression called as Wo（窝）. Jiuqiong lake and Jianzhu Wo got a lots of Jiuqiong tree and Fargesia (is a genus of medium to small mountain clumping bamboos, they are known in Chinese as jian zhu (Chinese: 箭竹; pinyin: jiànzhú), meaning "arrow bamboo". That’s why the Hakka ancestor named these places as Jiuqiong Lake and Jianzhu Wo.
Jhaomen area is known for its lush greenness and serenity. Rolling hills with fruit trees of Hengshan pear (also known as oriental pear), grafted pear, honey tangerine, Haili tankan, and pomelo. The Hengshan pear and the Haili tankan are particularly popular in this area. Besides that, a special statement is use to describe Jhaomen which is ‘a family has a pond’. There are many others attraction, for example hiking trails, ponds, gardens, Southern Cypress (落羽松), and butterflies.
