Shilin Official Residence, Former presidential residence and park in Shilin District, Taiwan
The Shilin Official Residence spans across extensive gardens featuring Chinese and Western horticultural elements, with traditional architecture and peaceful ponds throughout the grounds.
The residence, completed in 1950, served as the home of President Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling after they relocated from mainland China to Taiwan.
The residence preserves numerous diplomatic meeting rooms, personal living quarters, and gardens that reflect the formal customs of Taiwan's leadership during the 20th century.
Visitors can access the residence via Shilin Metro Station, with guided tours available in multiple languages throughout the main building and surrounding gardens.
The property contains a secret underground tunnel connecting to the Presidential Office Building in central Taipei, revealed by former President Chen Shui-bian.
