Dongshi District Office Introduction
The historical building that served as the "Dongshih County Office" during the Japanese colonial period is currently the Puzih Police Station. This structure has a close relationship with the current administrative divisions of Chiayi. This quaint and elegant brick building was originally constructed in response to the local administrative reorganization during the Taisho era. At that time, the county office had a combined function of administration and policing. The two-story building included offices, a semicircular detention center, and a grand hall. Despite the passage of time and changes in the world, the Dongshih County Office has largely retained its original appearance. It currently serves as the Puzih Police Station and is the highest-ranking official office from the Japanese colonial period that still exists in Chiayi County, carrying significant historical and cultural meaning.
