Taipei
Google Verified Seller

There are six national historic buildings in the park, including the hall, canteen, octagonal building, power supply room, engineering office, and wartime command center (air-raid shelter), all of which were built successively during the Japanese colonial period. The main building, the hall, was completed in 1920. It uses a lot of Alishan cypress wood and is a half-timbered building with "brick below and wood above". The exterior is a British Queen Anne Revival historical style of red brick and white imitation stone. Together with the octagonal building, it is a representative work of Moriyama Matsunosuke, a technician of the Construction Department of the Taiwan Governor-General's Office in his later years in Taiwan.

The Railway Ministry Historic Site Exhibition has planned four theme exhibition rooms, six digital tour guides and 20 on-site dismantling investigations to present the historical splendor and architectural features of the Railway Ministry. It also takes the audience back to the restoration site from the perspective of restoration records to get a glimpse of the craftsmen, construction methods and restoration considerations during the restoration process. The wonderful things about the Railway Ministry's historic buildings are waiting for you to visit the site and discover them carefully.

What to Expect
The content of this product is provided by machine translation and may not reflect the actual information, please take this into consideration before booking.The Railway Department of the Taiwan Governor-General's Office, a national historic site, was the site of the Taipei Machinery Bureau during the Qing Dynasty and Taiwan's first modern train repair industrial park, later becoming the management center for Taiwan's railway transportation. After the completion of the new Taipei Station in 1989 and the relocation of the Taiwan Railways Administration, the space remained vacant. Starting in 2006, the National Taiwan Museum collaborated with the Taiwan Railways Administration to transform the Railway Department into a museum park. The park contains six national historic buildings: the main hall, canteen, octagonal building, power room, engineering office, and wartime command center (air-raid shelter), all constructed during the Japanese occupation. The main hall, completed in 1920, is a semi-timbered structure using a large amount of Alishan cypress wood, with a brick-on-wood upper structure. Its exterior is in the Queen Anne Revival style, featuring red brick and white imitation stone, and along with the octagonal building, is a representative work of Moriyama Matsunosuke, a technician in the Taiwan Governor-General's Office's Construction Department, during his later years in Taiwan.
