Previously known as the Zhongxing Guesthouse, the construction of Yangmingshuwu was completed between 1969 and 1970 to serve as a place where the late President Chiang Kai-shek received guests from around the world and spent his summer vacations. It was the only residence Chiang chose to build in Taiwan and became one of the culturally and historically significant buildings in the Yangmingshan National Park.
Situated between Datun Mountain, Qixing Mountain, and Xiaoguanyin Mountain, Zhuzihu is 670 meters above sea level. At first, it was a landslide dam formed by lava eruption. Later, a gap was created by erosion on the side of the lake. Finally, the lake water was lost and it became a fertile wetland. As one of the most popular tourist attractions in Taipei City, Zhuzihu is a typical rural settlement in the mountains and is often covered by clouds and fog.
