Dasyi Mausoleum (chinese: 大溪陵寢) - at Taoyuan
Dasyi mausoleum is the place where Chiang Jing-gwo's body is placed after his death. It was once Toulyau Guesthouse, a compound around the courtyard. The surrounding planted Junipers, plums and camellias make the whole area quiet and undisturbed. Chiang Jing-gwo's body is placed in the main hall. Tourists usually give their respectful bows in the courtyard before the main hall.

    Shihmen Reservoir (石門風景區) - at Taoyuan
    It's built with the functions of flood control, irrigation, sights view, electricity and water supply, etc.; the beautiful scenery is around the reservoir. You'll see a good view of the whole reservoir when looking far away from the place of the dam. The nearby spots are Fairyland for children, the Asia amusement park and Golden Birds Amusement Park. These are good places for family travel. Go to Hsihmen tasting fishes is gluttons' favorite as the fishes in the reservoir are so fresh and tasteful; many tourists come mainly to eat it.

    Small Wulai Scenery (小烏來風景區) - at Taoyuan
    Small Wulai Waterfall is on the Yunei stream in Fusying Township. The best place viewing the waterfall is the four-storied "Waterfall-Viewing Platform" beside the highway. The waterfall originates from a slender valley. Owing to the broken river floor, the stream water drops straight down with grand momentum. A wind- tunnel-stone there is about 5m high; the only small part of its bottom touches the ground, looking shaky. From May to June, Nov. to next Feb. is the best time to watch birds. It's also nice to take a green shower here.
