Zhongxing Guesthouse

It was constructed between 1969 and 1970 by late President of the Republic of China Chiang Kai-shek for reception of important foreign guests and to act as a summer residence.

[1][2] Chiang's largest villa, the Zhongxing Guesthouse, is set on 37 acres of plum trees[clarification needed] and mountain landscape.

The villa was used primarily as a summer retreat and the Chinese-style home includes courtyards, covered walkways and a fully stocked goldfish.

The generalissimo reportedly favored morning walks and meditation sessions on the grounds, while Madame Chiang painted watercolor landscapes in her second floor studio.

In 1979, the Kuomintang Historical Commission took over administration, renamed it the Yangming Shuwu and established their party archives on the property.
