Shimen Reservoir, Water reservoir in Guanxi, Taiwan

The Shihmen Reservoir spans across the Dahan River in northern Taoyuan City with a dam height of 133 meters and length of 360 meters.

The construction of Shihmen Reservoir, completed in 1964 at a cost of NT$1.4 billion, required the displacement of more than 2,000 local residents.

The reservoir transformed agricultural practices in Taoyuan by enabling continuous irrigation throughout the year, leading to increased rice production and farmer income.

Visitors can access the reservoir via National Freeway 1 or 3, with dedicated bus services operating from Zhongli Station on weekends and holidays.

The facility manages sediment accumulation through 121 check dams along the Dahan River and employs an Amuping facility to process dredged materials.
