History
The lake used to be a lowland area and dry lake since Yuan Dynasty. The production of the salt was discontinued in 1946. In 1963, the Republic of China Armed Forces dug the area and converted into a freshwater lake with three levees to prevent the area from flooding.
Geology
The lake spans over an area of 386 hectares (950 acres) and divided into three areas by dikes, which are the inner, middle and outer. It forms a swamp for the habitat of fishes, ducks and migratory birds around the area.
