Sizihwan Chiang Kai-shek Residence Introduction
Xi Zi Wan Chiang Kai-shek Residence is located on Lianhai Road in the Gushan District, nestled within the lush environment of National Sun Yat-sen University Campus. This green two-story structure, built in 1935, was constructed by the Governor-General of Taiwan during the Japanese occupation to commemorate the 40th anniversary of their rule with a commemorative exhibition. Due to its proximity to the Xi Zi Wan Beach, it once served as a bathing pavilion with warm water baths. Since 1952, it has been the southern retreat for former President Chiang Kai-shek. Due to the historical significance of the residence, the second floor still preserves and showcases artifacts related to President Chiang, while the courtyard on the first floor continues to house the presidential vehicle from that time. The first-floor space has been transformed into the "Xi Wan Art Gallery," quietly narrating the vicissitudes of history through changes in power.
