Shimen Dam and reservoir are popular destinations in Taoyuan City of Taiwan. The dam is open to the public, and around the dam are many parks and trails to enjoy, as well as great scenery of the surrounding mountains and plains.

The name "Shimen”which means "stone gates" comes from the fact that the dam was built on a narrow gorge in the Dahan River valley, which was called the "stone gate."

Shimen Dam was completed in 1964 and took 9 years and NT 1.4 billion to complete. It was the ROC's first major water project. 2,000 people were displaced due to the dam's construction. The reservoir created year round water capacity for surrounding farmland, doubling agricultural yields.

Since it was built, the water capacity has been reduced by about a third due to silting.

The dam has also become a popular tourist destination due to the beautiful scenery surrounding it.

It was built in the 52nd year of the Republic of China as part of the North Cross widening project and was completed in the 1950s. It was opened to traffic, but it could only be opened to traffic in one direction, which often caused traffic jams. Later, a new Luofu Bridge was built next to it. This bridge was finally retired and has been transformed into a tourist suspension bridge.

Cihu Lake (aka Cihu Mausoleum or Mausoleum of Late President Chiang) in Daxi District of Taoyuan is one of the most interesting parks in Taiwan. Much of the park is full of statues of a former dictator, Chiang Kai-shek. Also, Chiang Kai-shek's former residence and his mausoleum are on the site. It is definitely a unique place worth visiting.

People often don’t realize that Taoyuan has a lot to offer to tourists. Many of the places here aren’t represented as well in English as other sites in Taipei, which is why we want to help everyone realize what a great place it is.

Chiang Kai-shek's residence at Cihu lake was built in 1975, and it was known as his favorite residence because it reminded him of his home town in Fenghua, Zhejiang, China. When Mr. Chiang died, he requested that his body be kept in a sarcophagus at Cihu until Taiwan took back the Chinese mainland, at which time he could be buried again in his home town.

The area around the lake was controlled by the ROC army until 2007, when it was transferred to the Taoyuan City Government. The area was closed briefly in 2008 and then, at which time many statues of the former dictator were moved to a park nearby, under the direction of DPP president Chen Shui-bian. Later the park was reopened when KMT president Ma Ying-jiu won the election in 2008. In 2018 the mausoleum was vandalized with red paint, after which it was closed to the public.

As of 2017 there were 219 statues in the park, 190 of which are of Chiang Kai-shek, 27 of Sun Yat-sen, and 2 of Chiang Ching-kuo.

Today, the intensity and sternness of the place has worn out.

Instead of real enemies, a troop of animal figures comprised of clouded leopard, pangolin, Taiwan black bear and many other Taiwanese endemics surrounds the base, adding a fun element to this historical site. Entering the 20-meter long underground tunnel gives you a chill. A 100-meter wide interactive 3D mural reverses time back to 50 years ago.

Daxi was the earliest developed area in Taoyuan. Thanks to small sailboats sailing between Dahan Creek and Tamsui River, Daxi had a thriving trade with China, and its prosperity brought success to many stores and businessmen. During the Japanese occupation period of the Taisho era, Baroque architecture was the popular building style and therefore many stores along Heping Road and Zhongshan Road were built in the Baroque style, but decorated with both Baroque ornamentation and characteristic totems of Min-nan in Southern China. On the facade of some old houses, auspicious Chinese fish and bat totems appear on Greek lintels or Roman columns, constituting a unique feature of Daxi. Because Heping Old Street was developed relatively later, the buildings in this area are better preserved. Specialty shops and food stands on the street always attract many tourists.

Other scenic attractions in the area include Daxi Bridge, Lee Teng-Fang Ancient Residence, Wude Temple, Daxi Wood Art Ecomuseum, etc. Daxi Old Street provides not only traditional Taiwanese toys, but also authentic must-try Taiwanese delicacies, including Daxi dried tofu, moonlight cakes, peanut caramel candies, tofu puddings, salty rice puddings and rice dumplings.

What is an outlet?

The term “outlet” first originated during the 1970’s in the United States. In the beginning, factories would sell leftover stock from their warehouses, which gradually evolved into factory outlets that sold excess inventory, odd-sizes and out-of-season goods. Factory outlets offered customers great bargains, but they were located in remote areas with low-cost construction and few customer amenities.

In recent years, outlets have become popular shopping destinations. Outlets offer everyday discounted prices on leading retail brands, as well as restaurants and cafes, recreational facilities, and an array of customer services. Since most outlets are located in suburban areas, many of them have open-air, landscaped courtyards, water features, outdoor seating and more, creating a comfortable and spacious shopping environment and a unique escape from the city.
