History

The hall was originally built in 1892 during the reign of Guangxu Emperor. The hall was confiscated by the Japanese government to make a government house at the original site. The hall was then rebuilt in 1911 at its present location.[1]

Architecture

The hall was designed by Ch'en Ing-pin using southern Fukienese architectural style. There is a double dragon column in front of the hall.[1]

Transportation

The hall is accessible within walking distance southwest of Shuanglian Station of Taipei Metro.

gollark: Pretty much, as long as they are also not exposing data from their friends/contacts to big companies too.
gollark: That's a different thing, I guess.
gollark: The network effects thing also doesn't apply to, say, use of other random cloud services. Unless you are also synchronizing your contacts and other data vaguely related to other people to those.
