This live camera looks out over Emei in Hsinchu County, where the calm water of the Dapu Reservoir sits near the Maitreya Buddha. It suits anyone curious about quiet lakeside scenery in northern Taiwan. The page also shows local time and the current weather with a three-day forecast.
A reservoir beside the hills
Emei lies in the hilly country of Hsinchu County, in the north-west of Taiwan. The Dapu Reservoir is one of the lakes that give the area its character, with water set among forested slopes and farmland. The Maitreya Buddha, a large statue of the future Buddha, is a well-known landmark in the district and draws visitors who come to walk, look at the lake and take in the landscape. The area is calm compared with the big cities nearby, so it appeals to people wanting a slower pace.
What to watch and when
The stream shows the lake and its surroundings, so the view changes with the light and the weather. Early morning often brings still water and soft mist over the hills, while late afternoon light tends to warm the slopes. Clear days give the best view of the water and distant ridges, and cloud or rain can change the mood of the scene quite quickly. Check the live weather on this page before you watch, since conditions here can shift during the day.
Climate and nearby places
Taiwan has a subtropical climate, with hot and humid summers and milder, drier winters in the north.
