This allows visitors to learn about water resource knowledge while enjoying the red maples, combining fun and education so that both adults and children can spend a wonderful holiday at Shimen Reservoir. Visitors can also head to nearby restaurants around the reservoir to enjoy delicious live fish dishes, making a trip to Shimen Reservoir in Taoyuan both fun and tasty！
