Scenic reservoir • Taipei
Name: Shimen Reservoir Description: Anchoring an entire day's itinerary, Shimen Reservoir in northern Taiwan is a major body of water—think wide, placid surfaces ringed by green hills—and it shows up in cycling and coach touring plans for good reason. The reservoir is a hub for water sports, picnics, and leisurely drives, with a dam that's impressive in scale and a park that's perfect for spreading out a blanket and relaxing.
