Things to see and do Longtan

It is a popular getaway for the people of Taipei. Surrounded by hills, it contrasts with the hustle and bustle of the capital. Walking along the river or irrigation canals can be a nice walk. The Shimen Dam, built in 1964 on the Dahan River, has enabled the development of the north-western part of the island, facilitating irrigation and providing electricity and running water for more than three million people.
