Former Tait & Co. Merchant House, Colonial trading building in Anping District, Taiwan
The Former Tait & Co. Merchant House features a two-story white structure with arcade railings and green glazed vase decorations on the upper floor.
Built in 1867 after the Treaty of Tientsin opened Anping for international trade, the building served as a base for Tait & Company's sugar and tea exports.
The ground floor presents exhibitions about Taiwan immigration history, while the upper level contains the Taiwan Development Wax Museum with human figures.
The merchant house opens daily from 8:30 to 17:30, with entrance fees of NT$70 for adults and NT$35 for children and seniors.
The building maintains its original central pathway design with three rooms on each side of the ground floor that previously housed company workers.
