[Tainan] Wusantou Reservoir (Hata Yoichi Dam)

#dam #cruise #YoichiHata #placetofeelhistory #Taiwan #Tainan #experience Yoichi Hatta is a very famous person in Taiwan who transformed barren areas such as Tainan and Chiayi into grain fields by providing agricultural guidance during Japanese rule, and built a dam in Wulaitou. He is not well known in Japan, and I only found out about him when I came to Taiwan. After doing some research, I found out that there is a museum about Hatta on the dam site, and that you can take a cruise inside the dam, so I went there. The site is large, so we got around in a tourist vehicle. One of the islands in the dam is well worth seeing, with Chiang Kai-shek's villa, the outlet where Hatta's wife jumped into the water, a monument sent by former Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori, and Hatta's house. It is located far from the city center, so it is best to spend the whole day looking around. It is also a good idea to take a tour to get around efficiently. There is nothing to block the view on a sunny day, so please take proper precautions against sunburn and heatstroke. It's too hot in the summer, so I recommend autumn.
