Taipei: Bitan


Bitan (碧潭), historically called "Shi-Bitan"(石碧潭), is a tourist spot in Xindian (where I live), Taipei County. Bitan literally means Green Lake, referring to where the Xindian River widens to form the lake. There is a well-known suspension bridge that is used only by pedestrians. The bridge can be seen on the crest of Xindian. There are many restaurants, carnival activities, and pedal boats in the area. To get there, it can easily be reached via Taipei's MRT system. The lake is walking distance southwest of the Xindian Station. The area was newly renovated and its a beauty!
