This camera is located at the Shihmen Reservoir Administration. The picture shows Shihmen Reservoir, whose many functions include irrigation, power generation, water supply, flood prevention, and tourism.

The Shihmen Reservoir Administration is responsible for operating the reservoir, managing the reservoir's water supply, maintaining and inspecting hydrological facilities and alarm systems, performing hydrological observation, serving tourists, and caring for tree seedlings in the surrounding forests.

Shihmen Reservoir has made an impressive contribution to the development of agriculture and industry in northern Taiwan. The reservoir is long and winding in shape. The beautiful mountains rising from the water attracts throngs of sightseers all year-round. 　　The dam and the road encircling the reservoir are the main sightseeing focal points. An observation platform at the top of the dam provides a panoramic view of the reservoir. The road around the reservoir passes several parks and pavilions allowing visitors to rest and absorb the scenery. Many succulent fish live in the clean reservoir water. Delicious fresh fish from Shihmen Reservoir are the most famous local product.
