The Lingshui Lake (Chinese: 陵水湖; pinyin: Língshuǐ Hú; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Niā-tsuí Ô͘) is a lake in Lieyu Township, Kinmen County, Taiwan.
The lake used to be a lowland area and dry lake since Yuan Dynasty. The production of the salt was discontinued in 1946.[1] In 1963, the Republic of China Armed Forces dug the area and converted into a freshwater lake with three levees to prevent the area from flooding.[2][3]
The lake spans over an area of 386 hectares (950 acres) and divided into three areas by dikes, which are the inner, middle and outer.[1][4] It forms a swamp for the habitat of fishes, ducks and migratory birds around the area.[2]
