The Siraya National Scenic Area is located at the crossroads of Tainan County's Jianan Plain and the western mountains. Because this extensive area connects high mountains with a plain, there are many intersecting streams and rivers. These result in great varieties of different landforms, creating a landscape that includes natural waterfalls and cliff-side springs. The area also has a rich geothermal geological structure, making it a perfect "geology classroom". In addition, there are many famous reservoirs, including the Zengwen Reservoir, the Jianshanpi Reservoir, the Wushantou Reservoir, and the Hutoupi Reservoir, making this area an important natural water source for southern Taiwan. At the time of its construction, Wushantou Reservoir had the third largest hydro-engineering system in the world. Many overseas scholars have come to do research here, and it has become a major water conservancy structure for the area.
The Siraya National Scenic Area is a major farm produce area. A large variety of fruits and other products grow year-round, making the Siraya National Scenic Area true to its name of "A Land of Abundance". In recent years, under governmental direction, the agricultural products of all counties and towns have been integrated, promoting local special products in each area, "one specialty for each village or town". Each of the 15 townships and villages in Siraya has its own special product, allowing them to promote significant tourism resources for the area.
This "Touring Siraya" website introduces the five major recreation systems in the area: the Guanziling Recreational System, the Zengwen Recreational System, the Wushantou Recreational System, the Zoujhen Recreational System and the Hutoupi Recreational System, each with their own tourist information and cultural specialties. The Siraya National Scenic Area's special tourism features are provided, along with information on accommodation, transportation, maps, etc. As you examine the materials, why not come to Siraya, and enjoy the natural and cultural village tours for yourself?
