The Agongdian River (Chinese: 阿公店溪; pinyin: Āgōngdiàn Xī; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: A-kong-tiàm-khe) is a river in Taiwan.




Name


Indigenous people who resided in the area called it Agongtoan. Min Chinese speakers from Fujian changed the pronunciation to "a-kong tiàm" (grandpa's shop), and used it for both Gangshan District, as well as the Agongdian River. Efforts to dam the river began in 1942, when Taiwanese was under Japanese rule. However, flood damage resulted in the suspension of the project, which was completed in 1953. The river now shares its name with the completed reservoir and Agongdian Forest Park.




Geology


The river flows through Kaohsiung for 38 km from Agongdian Reservoir in Yanchao District.




Transportation


The river is accessible within walking distance North of Gangshan South Station of Kaohsiung MRT.
