Why go
This is one of the best “unexpected” Taipei stops: it’s part museum, part infrastructure story, part seasonal summer fun. If your itinerary is heavy on temples and night markets, this adds variety fast.
It’s also in an easy area to combine with other low-stress stops near Gongguan.
How to plan it
Treat this as your half-day anchor in the Gongguan area. Add one nearby walk (Treasure Hill or the river) and end with a simple dinner or dessert run.
- Museum of Drinking Water → Treasure Hill stroll → Gongguan food/café
- Hot-weather plan: indoor museum time → water-park time (seasonal) → early dinner
- Rainy-day fallback: shorten to the museum building, then shift to nearby indoor stops
