Taoyuan City is known as the "Town of a Thousand Ponds." The densely distributed ponds and canals create a landscape rarely seen elsewhere in the world. This network of ponds and canals is closely tied to the unique geology and topography of the Taoyuan Plateau. It is a human-made natural landscape that integrates reservoirs, rivers, ponds, and canals. With over a century of history, it has shaped the distinctive natural ecosystem and settlement culture of the Taoyuan Plateau.
