Jiaobanshan Resort, Historic building and monument in Zeren Village, Taiwan.

Jiaobanshan Resort is a red-tile and brick-walled presidential guesthouse completed in 1960 on a 5.76-hectare terrace in Zeren Village. Its main building has six rooms and two bathrooms across 199 ping, with bulletproof glass along the corridor and three exits. The grounds hold a plum grove, a narrow artificial pond, and a guardhouse converted into a café.

Built in 1960 without a construction permit, the retreat replaced the earlier Jiaobanshan Guesthouse on a 5.76-hectare plateau, for which the Presidential Office's Third Bureau requisitioned 87 plots of indigenous reserve land in Zeren Village. Chiang Kai-shek still preferred the old guesthouse, and Chiang Ching-kuo stayed here more often. The building was transferred to Taoyuan County in 1995 and opened to the public on 20 August that year, drawing 5,000 visitors on the first day.

The building is known as a 蔣公行館, a presidential retreat, and villagers call the older 角板山貴賓館 the "old guesthouse" to distinguish it. Inside the main house are Chiang family relics, personal photographs and calligraphy and paintings by Soong Mei-ling. The garden was planted with white plum trees at construction, giving it the name Plum Garden.

The main house sits at the end of a path through the plum grove, past the former guard dormitory now used as a coffee house. The bomb shelter and the war-preparedness tunnel, opened on 8 February 2016, lie below and behind the building; the tunnel exits lead toward the Northern Cross-Island Highway and the Fuxing war road. The grounds adjoin Jiaobanshan Sculpture Park.

Behind the main house, a tunnel leads into a bunker dug 40 metres into the hillside, 5 metres high, 4 wide and 20 long, with a 10-metre-high, 2-metre-thick concrete shell and 40-metre approach passages on each side. Escape routes ran to Daxi or Sanxia via the Northern Cross-Island Highway, or along the Fuxing Preparedness Road through Dongyanshan. The tunnel opened to visitors on 8 February 2016.
