With its tranquil and magnificent scenery, the Grass Mountain area is located at a strategic high point overlooking the Taipei Plain. Its beautiful sights have long attracted famous visitors. Come and encounter the historic buildings in a journey back to the olden days.
Grass Mountain Chateau was Chiang Kai-Shek’s first official residence. It has witnessed political and cultural change through time and has been completely rebuilt to create a new cultural prospect.
The blueprint for Chungshan Hall was the art of Chinese imperial-style buildings. The hall was an important venue that hosted national banquets, important meetings, and foreign and domestic guests.
