 The
narrow-shaped
Taoyuan
County
is a
plateau
lies
in
the
northwestern
part
of
Taiwan
Main
Island,
with
Taipei
and
Ilan
counties
adjacent
to
it.
"
Zhibali"
was
the
first
name
ever
placed
onto
this
area,
while
afterward
it
was
replaced
by"
Taoyuan"(Peach
Garden)
for
the
peach
trees
in
full
blossom
used
to
be a
major
attraction
there.
However,
peach
blossom
has
been
somehow
a
rare
scene
nowadays. |

The
charming
point
Taoyuan
County
was
proud
of
next
to
peach
blossom
would
be
Shimen
Reservoir,
which
was
then
the
largest
of
its
kind
in
Fareast.
Almost
none
of
the
visitors
to
Taoyuan
had
excluded
their
tours
of
pilgrimages
to
the
grand
reservoir.
Meanwhile,
the
most
important
site
in
Taoyuan
is
doubtlessly
the
CKS
National
Airport---the
gate
of
Taiwan---with
passengers
amount
to
tens
of
million
person-times
annually. |

|
Taoyuan
County,
in
this
way,
has
been
honored
as "
The
City
of
Country
Gate".
Having
the
lovely
scenery
as
background,
well-known
attractions
in
Taoyuan
County
includes
Dasi
(Tashi)
historic
streets,
the
mausoleum
of
Chiang
Kai-shek
at
Cihu
(Tsihu),
the
collection
of
miniature
structures
"Window
on
China"(Xiaorenguo),
Jiaoban
Mountain
(Jiaobanshan),
as
well
as
the
sacred
woods
at
Daguan
Mountain
(Daguanshan),
and
Fushing
Township.
As
to
the
specialties,
the
soft
peanut
drops
of
Lung
tan
and
dried
tofu
of
Dasi
(Tashi)
are
something
else
you
shouldn't
miss
on
your
trip
to
Taoyuan.
