In Neihu there are a few lakes or rather ponds which are popular with the residents. One of the bigger ponds is Bihu 碧湖 which is located close to the Wende MRT Station 捷運文德站 on the Brown Line. When you exit the station at exit no.2 you need to turn left and at the lights cross the Wende Rd. turning into Lane 101, Wende Rd 文德路101巷. At the next intersection you will see the lake on your right.
Right next to the lake is a well known school for traditional Chinese arts, National Taiwan College of Performing Arts 國立臺灣戲曲學院.
At this time of the year (late fall/early winter) you can spot many migrating (and also local) birds around the lake. We did see quite a few:
We also studied some trees:
We also found some tiny moths' pupae and caterpillars and of course months:
The trails on the kill by the lake have stairs and are quite easy to climb.
We stopped to rest and for a snack at the top of the hill.
There is a small island with some benches on the lake:
There is also a nice playground nearby:
