Jiaan Village (Shimen Shiyifen) Introduction
Longtan Shih-yin Farm retains the dormitory complex where American engineers stayed during the construction of the Shimen Dam, featuring a blend of Japanese and American architectural styles from 50 years ago. With vast grasslands and shady trees, it has become one of Taoyuan City's famous leisure spots. Located in front of the Shimen Reservoir Administration, the Shimen Great Lawn is quite spacious and always attracts many children and adults to fly kites, play soccer, or have picnics. The area is surrounded by many ironwood trees and camphor trees, providing cool shade for visitors to rest. The adjacent dormitory area is also planted with numerous cherry blossom trees, which bloom beautifully each spring. Additionally, the Shimen Reservoir Administration has been featured as a filming location for several Taiwanese films such as "You Are the Apple of My Eye," "The Tree Remains," and "May 1st." The movie "You Are the Apple of My Eye" was filmed in Jia'an Village, where the female lead's home is located. It's worth visiting the scenes from the film to reminisce about the youthful and humorous plot! Moreover, the nearby Cultural Street is a popular dining spot for fresh seafood, drawing countless visitors to enjoy delicious food, chase stars in Jia'an Village, picnic on the Great Lawn in front of the North District Water Resources Bureau, or fly kites.
