Tainan Magistrate Residence

The Tainan Magistrate Residence is a historically significant building constructed during the Japanese occupation of Taiwan. It stands as one of the most sophisticated structures from that era, meticulously maintained to showcase its original elegance. While remnants of the Imperial family are limited to souvenirs bearing the chrysanthemum mark and a portrait of Emperor Showa, the residence provides a captivating insight into the architectural style and cultural influences of the period. Today, it houses a pleasant cafe and a gift shop offering unique local crafts.
