  • Ercengping Sea of Flowers

    Ercengping Sea of Flowers
    Season :

    Spring, a sea of cosmos flowers

    Ercengping Sea of Flowers

    The area Ercengping is nicknamed the "Water Running Upward in the East Longitudinal Valley." Due to the fact that local terrain conditions stopped water running downstream for agricultural irrigation and resulted in the lack of adequate water supply, the once-abandoned ditch was reconstructed to the Ercengping Water Bridge to provide a stable water supply for irrigation. Because of an optical illusion, it looks as if the water is running uphill.

    The arch Ercengping Water Bridge made of bricks in red and white accompanied by a sea of cosmos flowers creates quaint and incomparable scenery, making it a popular spot for flower tourism in Taitung.
