Li Guoding Former Residence Introduction
The residence was built in 1935 and originally served as the dormitory for the Minister of the Communications Department of the Governor-General's Office during the Japanese colonial period. After the war, it was converted into the dormitory for the Minister of Finance of the Taiwan Provincial Government. In 1972, Mr. Lee Kuo-ting moved in when he served as the Minister of Finance until his passing. Lee Kuo-ting was a key figure in Taiwan's economic development. Since entering the finance and economics field in 1953 until he became a Senior Advisor to the President in 1988, he made outstanding contributions to Taiwan's industry, economy, finance, and high-tech industry development, earning him the titles of the promoter of Taiwan's economic miracle and the father of technology, with achievements recognized both domestically and internationally. The Taipei City Government officially designated Lee Kuo-ting's residence as a city historical site in 2003 and constructed a new exhibition hall beside it. The entire residence has been open for public visits since May 31, 2010.
