When the term "guest house" is used, many Western visitors assume it's a slightly down-at-heal residential hotel at the sea-side. Nothing could be further than the truth. The Taipei Guest House dates from the Japanese colonial era; it's a magnificent structure; it's used to house visiting VIPs and host civic receptions. I have been invited to attend several receptions at the Taipei Guest House, most recently to be introduced to Tsai Ing-wen, president of the Republic of China. It's certainly a prime example of Taiwanese craftsmanship of which the people of the island are rightly proud .

Nestled in an alley off Linsen N. Road, the Former Residence of Pu Tian-Sheng, a Japanese wooden structure built more than 80 years ago, was converted from Pu Tian-Sheng’s residence and studio by his children in honor of his lifetime contribution to the arts. Among others, the construction of the Hinoki-wood art studio was designed and overseen by Pu himself. Currently open to the public, the residence provides great opportunities for arts appreciation in Taipei City and has an exhibition layout that offers guided tours and education, including an outdoor sculpture area, a parlor displaying Pu’s collection of masterpieces, an art corridor, a memorial studio and a room showing Pu’s personal effects.

We came here by MRT. Entrance was free and there was a fair number of locals around, but not crowded. Had a fairly nice walk around with much greenery.

This is not a popular destination for common visitors nor for local people. Built during the ruling period of Japanese and the building is well maintained and operates fine performances - Google the show schedule. A very lovely tea house on the 3rd floor and Le Prominoir Coffee on the 4th floor - perfect for travelers with a relaxed schedule!

The official name of Taiwan is the Republic of China (ROC). It has a unique system of government, based on five Yuans. The Judicial Yuan interprets the ROC Constitution and supervises the legal system, among other things. The Hall of Justice houses the Judicial Yuan. This system of government was devised by Dr Sun Yat-sen, the founder of modern China. The Hall of Justice is an impressive building that stands out in downtown Taipei.

Many older people regard the Japanese colonial era (1895-1945) with some nostalgia. Indeed, many elderly people speak better Japanese than Mandarin. Unlike Korea, Japanese rule in Taiwan was relatively benign. Taiwan was part of the Japanese Empire, and the Japanese undertook to develop the economy, because it was intended that Taiwan would remain attached to Japan. The State Tobacco Monopoly Administration headquarters is a melding of classical European and Japanese architectural styles, typical of significant buildings of this era.
