General Hall
Taiwan
The Jiang Jun Fu (General’s House) is a historic Japanese-era military residence complex, featuring traditional dormitory layouts, brick chimneys, and elegant gardens that reflect Hualien’s past. Today, it is being reimagined as a vibrant cultural hub, blending history with creativity. Visitors can stroll through its Japanese-style garden, admire water features, and sense the atmosphere of “Hualien’s Living Room,” where heritage meets modern art and community life. Ending the day here offers a refreshing contrast to the grandeur of Taroko’s marble cliffs and wild landscapes—closing your journey with culture, tranquility, and a deeper connection to Hualien’s story.
