First Hotel Introduction
The First Guest House is located near Guanyinting in Magong City, Penghu, and was built by the Japanese military during the Japanese occupation. It was the residence of Mr. Chiang Kai-shek in Penghu. On May 17, 1949, Mr. President Chiang first stayed here. Later, when the National Government moved to Taiwan, President Chiang and President Lee Teng-hui also frequently stayed here during their visits to Penghu. The First Guest House is a Japanese-style building with a structure based on load-bearing walls, wooden trusses, and a tiled roof. Due to long-term military management and maintenance, and with limited public access, it is well-preserved. The architectural art combines both Japanese and Western styles; the exterior walls are built with coral stones, and the courtyard is planted with various plants and trees, complete with walkways. There is also a very large grassy square. During the "823" Artillery Battle, this place became the frontline of the war, and the First Guest House served as the command center for military operations. It also served as a command post and is the only preserved guest house with strategic facilities, equipped completely, and holds significant cultural, historical, and military importance, making it highly valuable for preservation. On December 10, 1998, the county government announced it as a county-designated historic site. 【Recommended Stay Time】 Exterior Viewing 0.5 hours
