Daxue Pond is located within the Cishou Forest Nature Education Area in Nantou County. It is named after National Taiwan University as it belongs to the university’s experimental forest area and is an artificially excavated landscape pond. The pond covers an area of about half a hectare with a depth of approximately 10 meters. Historically, it was used to soak wood to remove impurities and pests, as well as to prevent wood from cracking. Now, it serves purely as a scenic spot.
Daxue Pond is one of the representative landscapes of Cishou, with its emerald green waters resembling a mirror, surrounded by towering ancient trees and lush greenery. The pleasant climate adds to its appeal, making it a favorite among tourists. A unique feature is the arched bamboo bridge over the pond, constructed entirely of bamboo, which attracts curious tourists who often gather in queues to cross.
In addition to Daxue Pond, the forest area also boasts other scenic spots such as the sacred tree, sea of trees, and ginkgo forest. It is an ideal destination for family outings on weekends and holidays, allowing visitors to immerse in nature and enjoy the benefits of phytoncide, while also learning about various types of trees and plants in Taiwan. The area is open all year round from 7:00 to 17:00.
