Shihlin Official Residence

 

The Shihlin Official Residence is located on Chungshan North Road in Taipei City's Shihlin District. It was the former home of the late President Chiang Kai-shek.

In 1996, the Shihlin Official Residence was placed under the care of the Taipei City Government and partially opened to the public, lifting the veil of mystery that had hung over the estate for nearly half a century. The expansive and elegant garden has a romantic European feel, with rose beds and tree-lined paths, making it a popular place for the taking of wedding photographs. A long flight of steps offers a panoramic view of the Chihsing Mountain and is a favorite spot for couples.
