Baileng Canal Memorial Park

A memorial park for a canal diverting water from the upper Dajia River to the Xinshe Plateau, completed in 1932. Roughly 16 kilometers of tunnels, aqueducts, and inverted siphons carry the water from the intake in Heping District to the terraces here. After decades of continuous use it was heavily damaged in the 921 Earthquake but subsequently rebuilt, with several relics of the original canal system preserved as historic buildings, including a huge inverted siphon pipeline (白冷圳抽藤坑倒虹吸管) that comes down through the park.
