When the term "guest house" is used, many Western visitors assume it's a slightly down-at-heal residential hotel at the sea-side. Nothing could be further than the truth. The Taipei Guest House dates from the Japanese colonial era; it's a magnificent structure; it's used to house visiting VIPs and host civic receptions. I have been invited to attend several receptions at the Taipei Guest House, most recently to be introduced to Tsai Ing-wen, president of the Republic of China. It's certainly a prime example of Taiwanese craftsmanship of which the people of the island are rightly proud .

The Presidental Office building dates from the Japanese colonial era (1895-1945) when it was the headquaters of the Japanese Governor. It is now occupied by President Tsai Ingwen, the first female president of the Republic of China. Some people pass it for years without finding out what it is. The interior is quite striking, lots of light and windows.
