The principal office building of the Taiwan Provincial Government, completed in 1957 as the first administrative hall of Zhongxing New Village and the core of the provincial government’s administrative special zone until the office was streamlined in 1998. Built in a quasi-International Style, it presents a symmetrical plan with a three-storey central building flanked by two-storey wings, facing the village entrance across a triangular lawn bearing a bronze statue of Sun Yat-sen. It was designated a county monument in 2011 and now houses the National Development Council (國家發展委員會) office for the Zhongxing New Village revitalization project.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
