 |
| Enterance |
|
| The middle section of the river, which is found downstream of its mountainous source, is comparatively broad and mellow and is characterized by mild temperatures, substantial water volume, and a leisurely flow. Freshwater weeds thrive here and act as a nursery for marine creatures. |

 |
| High Mountain Stream |
|
| The rivers of Taiwan mostly originate from the high central mountain where the streams are short and rapid. The exhibition captures the narrow paths of the mountain streams, the dense plant life lining the riverbanks, the cool and clear nature of the water, and, of course the mystic fog that is so popular with both domestic and foreign tourists. Visitors will get a sense of the natural mountain landscapes and become familiar with "Taiwan’s national treasure, the precious fish called "yamame". |

| Riverbank |
|
| Stones and aquatic and land plants of all shapes and sizes act to stabilize the riverbanks, constructing a habitat for frogs, toads, turtles, snakes, rats, otters and birds. This display window encourages the audience to observe the behavior of amphibians and reptiles at a close distance and, more generally, displays the importance of the riverbank region to the environment to the overall ecology of these riverine ecosystems. |

| Reservoir |
|
| The bright and warm surface waters are in stark contrast to the gloomy and cold benthic waters of the reservoir. The rock walls provide a distinct and complex framework and habiat for a variety of fish species. |
