#MarchGoodPlaces2025 The Taipei Water Source Pump Room was originally a Class III historic site. It is now opened by the Taipei Waterworks Office as a water museum in the Taipei Waterworks Park. The Waterworks Park is located in the southern part of the Taipei Basin, in the hub area of ​​the Gongguan business district, covering an area of ​​approximately 20 hectares. The natural environment is surrounded by mountains and rivers. It is the birthplace of Taipei's tap water and is also an environmental education facility with "water resource conservation" as its theme. In addition to the Gongguan Water Purification Plant which is in operation, there are also historic buildings such as the Taipei Water Source Pump Room (Tap Water Museum) (Figures 1-8), the pressure relief tower (Figure 14), the Guanyinshan Reservoir (Figure 17), the water measuring room (Figure 18), which was built during the Japanese period and has the highest water supply in Taiwan, as well as the muddy water pumping station built after the war. The park's Environmental Education Center has carefully developed water resources lesson plans suitable for different age groups. At the same time, Xiaoguanyin Mountain (Figure 16), which covers an area of ​​about 5 hectares in the park, completely preserves the original broad-leaved forest ecology of the shallow mountains and low altitudes, and can be used for ecological exploration courses. 📍Address: No. 1, Siyuan Street, Zhongzheng District, Taipei City 100

Beijing Tap Water Museum. So niche! It's actually located on the outer side of the East Second Ring Road at Dongzhimen, occupying the bottom three floors beneath several high-rise buildings. Specific coordinates: No. 3 Xiangheyuan Street, Dongcheng District, outside Dongzhimen. 🌸 Secluded, free, no reservation required, and basically deserted. Took a stroll and collected a few knowledge maps - they are about China's water systems, the distribution of groundwater in China, and the five major water systems of Beijing. Next time when traveling and encountering rivers, lakes, and seas, you'll be able to roughly identify which system they belong to. 🌸 The exhibition content is roughly in the order of the situation of China's rivers, lakes, and seas, the distribution of Beijing's water systems, the historical use and development of water resources in Beijing, and after the establishment of New China... And so on, and so on.

"Beijing Tap Water Museum" is located at No. 3 Xianghe Garden Street, outside Dongzhimen, Beijing, and opened in 2002. The museum is located on the site of the first water plant in Beijing's history - the old site of Dongzhimen Water Plant, and the main building of the museum is the remains of the steam engine room built in 1910. The museum has three exhibition halls, "Hard Entrepreneurship, Striving for Excellence", "Clear Springs Reflecting the Past and Present", and "Vigorous Development after the Reform and Opening Up", which introduce the century-long development of Beijing's tap water business to people through real objects, pictures, models, sculptures and text descriptions.
