Taichung Prefectural Hall, Administrative monument in West District, Taiwan
The Taichung Prefectural Hall displays Japanese colonial architecture with a symmetrical design, granite columns, and traditional decorative elements across its three-story structure.
Built in 1913 during Japanese rule, this governmental building served as the primary administrative center for the Taichung prefecture until the end of World War II.
The building incorporates architectural elements from both Japanese and Western designs, representing the cultural exchange between Taiwan and Japan in the early 20th century.
Visitors can reach the monument by taking bus routes 27, 33, or 35 from Taichung Station, with the last admission at 4:30 PM daily.
The preservation team discovered original architectural blueprints hidden within the walls during the 2008 restoration, revealing unknown details about its construction methods.
