Traveler reviews
Jason Wong
★★★★★Edited 2 months agoMy visit provided a profound appreciation for the vital journey of Taiwan's water. The facility brilliantly illustrates the extensive efforts to ensure a safe supply, from collaborating with international experts on treatment to demonstrating remarkable resilience. I was especially impressed by two things: the creative sustainability of recycling old pipes and valves into park furniture, and the powerful exhibit on natural disasters, which showed the crushing impact of an earthquake on a major steel pipe. It was a powerful, behind-the-scenes look at the challenges overcome to serve the community.
Charles Gormally
★★★★★5 months agoWondering how Taipei city ever got running water? Visit here to find out. Very friendly self guided tour. Informative and historically accurate retelling of how British engineers designed the system and inspired its construction. Beautiful gardens surrounding the site. Many cool facts.
