Old Tainan Prefecture Council

The Old Tainan Prefecture Council is a government building with traditional design elements, a symmetrical front, and high ceilings in spacious hallways. The rooms show how people built in the early 20th century with careful attention to walls and openings.

During Japanese rule from 1895 to 1945, this building served as an administrative center where decisions shaped regional development. It remains today as a record of that governing period in Tainan.

The building shows how Japanese colonial design mixed with local Taiwanese building methods from that era. You can see in its details how the administration worked here and shaped the region.

The building sits near several historical sites in central Tainan and is reachable by local bus or guided walking tours. It makes sense to explore the area since many other historical locations lie nearby.

The interior spaces keep original wooden floors and detailed window frames showing construction methods from the early 20th century. These details reveal how carefully craftspeople worked and how long such materials can last.
