It was a great experience to visit the presidential office building, deepening our understanding of Taiwan by using the quote posted on the wall: “The people's presidential building; the world’s Taiwan.“
It was a six-floor building, standing near West Gate and South Gate with broad roads, well-designed landscaping with blooming flowers, and strong cypress and palm trees. The staff there were very friendly and guided tourists forward with security checks and brief instructions.
The first floor was open to visitors. It was like a mid-sized museum that exhibited the history of Taiwan. The different minorities, the diverse linguistics, and vast industries. Plants and Agriculture
A couple of former presidents articulated their perceptions about Taiwan's national management philosophy and democratic system Some of their quotes were printed on the wall. They encourage people to fight for the citizens' rights, also understand their liabilities being self-respect demonstrating democracy at all aspects of how to run a harmonious society.
There was an interesting 10-second digital immersive experience of encountering the president shaking hands and taking a picture with her. There was a garden in the center of the building and the surrounding environment was elegant.
You could find some souvenirs in a small gift shop and make your own postcard with the stamp of the Taipei Presidential Office Building and the visitor admission sticker on it.
I am very impressed with Taiwan's openness to welcoming tourists to visit different administrative buildings. I thought they tried to make things more transparent and embrace diverse voices. Staffs there seem to enthusiastically invite you to their office and help them make improvements. Overall, it was a great experience to visit the presidential office building, deepening our understanding of Taiwan by using the quote posted on the wall: “The people's presidential building; the world’s Taiwan, “
