Museum of Drinking Water
Taipei Water Park is on Siyuan Road in Zhongzheng District near Yongfu Bridge and the bustling Gongguan Shopping District. There are many themed areas within the park, making it a great place to stay cool in summer ever since 2002.

The Museum of Drinking Water was the first modern electric pump house in Taiwan. Built in 1908, it pumped and distributed the water to the area. The museum was built symmetrically with a Roman arcade and Greek columns adorned with ram horns in the Neoclassical style of the late European Renaissance. It is a favorite spot for newlywed couples to take wedding pictures.

Declared a historic site, the museum houses old pumping and electrical machinery from its past. The Metering Room, Guangyinshan Reservoir, and Raw Water Pumping Station are showcased in the Historical Plaza.
Water Country Park is the highlight of the water park. Here, children of all ages enjoy the water slides and activity pools. The Gongguan Riverside Plaza under Yongfu Bridge offers a place to relax next to Xindian River. The park is a great place to ride a bike and enjoy the night view when the bridge is lit up in a dazzling light show.
With a water park, bike trails, museum and nighttime scenery, Taipei Water Park has something to keep you busy all day long.
