Yongheshan Reservoir — Attraction in Sanwan

It’s not far away from my previous residence. Actually, my parents used to come here to exercise. However, I don’t come here that often once I moved to my new residence which is a bit far away. Anyway, it’s quite nice to walk around here while not many people around. We enjoyed the scene and learned that the drought has come unnoticed. The water level is way lower than the normal level. The scene is great and the air is fresh with some breezes. We shall come here to enjoy and explore more in the...

「永和山水庫」壩體的洩流口設計與「南化水庫」相似，屬馬蹄型溢流堰（井）。

於大壩頂上柏油路漫步，走到盡頭只見雜草叢生，草叢中隱約有小路可行，於是矮身低頭步入探勘。

入林後，宛如進入不同世界，林深無人鳥相呼。起初尚有多樣樹種，深入後只剩綠竹林。隨行漸深，小路也漸失，最後只能依著直覺前行。

此時內心自動提高警覺，提防「青竹絲」意外出現。

藉著判定光線方向順利地走出密竹林，再度親近水庫時已繞了半座水庫，立在大壩對岸，沿著水邊的退水濕地續行，濕地如爛泥巴般一步一陷落。

地上許多曬乾的福壽螺殼，有些比我手握拳頭還大。

行至風景秀麗之地後坐下休息，以手舀水洗臉，於水際邊欣賞山光水色，不自覺地唱起「太湖船」。唱至一半，突然聽到身後樹林傳來人喧聲。

心想，此地亦有人來？

尋聲翻過幾處小林，發現五個釣客來此釣魚。

是當地居民，從湖的對面坐小竹筏來此。旁邊一艘竹筏上載滿黑色小籠，如花盆般層層疊疊，詢問下得知是「蝦籠」，專門用來捕蝦。

天上幾隻大鳥盤旋，似乎有老鷹翱翔其中，釣客說道那隻老鷹是「當地居民」，就住在這裡，曾見過它俯衝捕魚的美妙姿勢。

釣客隨即指著另外兩隻大鳥，說道那些是「吃了米的」。是從中國飛來過冬的「鸕鶿」。每年固定好幾百隻飛來此過冬，偏偏每隻都很會吃魚，並且一待就好幾個月。這群鸕鶿每年都會吃掉上千條水庫魚，而且是大小魚通吃，不像我們釣到小魚就放回去，根本就是「吃了米」。

聽到此，我頓時哈哈大笑，說道：「積怨頗深，這群『吃了米』的搶了你們的生意。...

Not crowded with people, some little birds singing, ducks swimming, wind whispering… a little too warm for now, but, how a peaceful living drawing in front of my face, fully...
