Friends who have been to Taipei should be familiar with the Yuanshan Hotel. It is located on a independent hill in Shilin District. It is a Chinese palace -style building with a red wall and gold tile. There are hills and green shades behind it. It is very comfortable.

Here, as a signature attraction in Taipei, it has attracted tourists from various places to visit. When people come and go, unfortunately, the stones in this mountain cannot speak, otherwise the story can't stop.

Yuanshan is the first slow slope of the Taipei Basin. It is said that because of feng shui like dragons, the ancient name is Dalongshan.

Although I don't believe in the layout of Feng Shui, this place in Yuanshan is indeed a wonderful thing.

It is really a very good feng shui position

The first smell is related to Zheng Chenggong, a surname of the country. It is rumored that a carp essence lives in the Keelung River at the foot of the Yuanshan. Zheng Chenggong led his troops to pass the river by boat. The carp essence rose to rise and hinders the march.

Zheng Cheng took the sword and threw it into Hezhong Town. After the carp essence was stabbed, he never dared to mess. This water is named "Jiantan". It is said that every fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, the sword inserted in the water is still shining.

In fact, the national surname's war in Taiwan has not left Tainan. Only after the above generation loves only these fabrications. But the fabrication was picked at the foot of the Yuanshan, which was also due to Feng Shui here.

The picture shows the sword of Jiantan Temple on the former site of the Yuanshan. In 1937, the Japanese expanded the Taiwan Shrine and forced the temple to migrate.

Tan Temple was relocated to the Elementary School of Dajia Elementary School so far. Later, due to the establishment of a school, he moved to Daodong Site.

During the Qing Dynasty, the surrounding area of ​​Taipei became a tea producer. For a while, many rich people saw the Feng Shui of Yuanshan, and they built a western -style mansion here. The French Embassy also intends to move here and buy a piece of land to prepare early.

However, the signing of the Maguan Treaty has changed the fate of Taiwan. The Dragon Pulse of Yuanshan was immediately seen by the newly -Japanese Governor of Japan. It is necessary to use a big action -to build the Taiwan Shrine.

To say that this Shrine in Taiwan is not a casual name. In the Japanese Shinto Management System, the level of the Taiwan Shrine is the highest -level "Guan currency society", which means that the shrine is provided by the Japanese government to support it and worships it to ensure that it is worshiped. The gods must have something to do with the Japanese emperor or the royal family.

There is really one of the Japanese royal family, which has a relationship with Taiwan, and is the uncle of the Emperor Meiji, named Prince Kitakawa Shirakawa Palace. After the signing of the Maguan Treaty in 1895, Prince Nengjiu personally led his soldiers to receive Taiwan. However, after a few months, he got malaria and died of illness in Tainan.

Subsequently, the death of Prince Prince was deified and became the god of Taiwan in the Japanese occupation era. In 1901, the Taiwan Shrine started with the support of Governor Yukuan Taro at the time. It was completed in October of the same year and covers an area of ​​about five hectares.

The whole picture of the shrine, the structure is divided into three platforms from the bottom up. The hall is located at the highest place, and the middle is worshiping the palace.

In the Taiwan Shrine, the tablet of Prince Baichuan Palace in Beibaichuan Palace is tied with the tablet of the Great God of Tianshao. His taboo day is also scheduled to be the main sacrifice day of the Taiwan Shrine. The grand ceremony is held.

Therefore, from the rich area of ​​the rich man, the Yuanshan has become the most lofty spiritual sacred place for the civilization of the Japanese emperor. Taiwanese who have been assimilated by Shinto -religion came to Yuanshan to worship. Thousands of people.

Japan was defeated in 1945, and Taiwan returned to the embrace of China. The shrine that symbolized the emperor's rule was quickly demolished (the same demolished is also the Lushun Shrine in Northeast China and the North Korean shrine in Gyeonggi -do).

Yuanshan did not return to loneliness because of this. On the original site of the Shrine of Taiwan, it was hosted by Song Meiling and a restaurant used to receive foreign guests. It was originally named "Taiwan Province Dunmu Friendship Club", and the first manager was Miss Kong Lingwei.

Now in the Yuanshan Hotel, there are photos of receiving major foreign guests that year

The Yuanshan Hotel did not have the main structure that everyone saw today.

Shrine Torii acts as the gate of the hotel, and the shrine management institution has become a pool villa in an atrium. The main body of the hotel finally set up a Chinese three -story building, and the antique Chinese design and decoration were also amazing at the time.

Some buildings in Taiwan Shrine continue to be used as an auxiliary building of the Yuanshan Hotel

The "Sky Miss" stills released in 1959. At that time, the restaurant gate (first generation) was also the newly completed co -owner and foreign guests of the Japanese torii. The most generous guest is the Saudi King who visited Taiwan in 1971, and the tips for the service staff were Rolex.

Therefore, if some readers have visited the Yuanshan Hotel, they will know that they have seen the old photos displayed on the wall. All of them were taken in a three -story hotel before 1973.

Initially there were only three floors at the Yuanshan Hotel

We now see the 14 -storey Yuanshan Hotel, which is completed on October 10, 1973. It is a landmark building in Taipei. However, the people at that time could only overlook the beauty and it was difficult to enter. As the international entertainment place for senior officials, the Yuanshan Hotel is still only open to people.

Until 1998, the Yuanshan Hotel decided to be open to the general public due to financial difficulties.

This is currently rebuilt in 1973

Standing in front of the restaurant's door, please look back first. The beauty of the Taipei Basin can be seen. It is charming whether day or night. Following the winding Keelung River, the gateway to the north, Matsuyama Airport, is on the left, and there are planes across the sky.

When you enjoy the natural scenery of this Feng Shui treasure, we can turn into the hall to blow air -conditioning.

Welcome to the Yuanshan Hotel

Entering the hall, the eyes are full of bright red. This red is specially prepared for the Yuanshan Hotel. Only one place is "Yuanshan Red". The festive color is particularly eye -catching against the Chinese palace lamp.

Please look up at this time. The top of the center of the Garden Mountain Hotel Hall is a three -layer algae well with a plum shape. Tomoi uses red as the bottom, and 23 dragon drama beads and 16 phoenix flying sky are drawn with gold, which symbolizes "Dragon and Phoenix is ​​auspicious and auspicious."

Let's disclose here:

Dragon is the most prominent theme of the Yuanshan Hotel. Not only the centered on Azao, but also the pillars, eaves, bucket arch, etc. According to the hotel guide, all of them add up to more than 200,000 dragons.

(I feel that this number is also casually felt, after all, there are dragons everywhere).

There is a two -story high platform below the lobby Tomai with a large orchid flower basket on it. It is a good choice for tourists to take pictures.

The left hand is a buffet restaurant and coffee bar. There are often live music performances. On the right is the restaurant "Yuanyuan" famous for Jiangsu and Zhejiang's taste. Can't eat it. In addition, under the care of Kong Lingwei from Shanxi, the Shanxi face of Yuanyuan is also very distinctive.

There are some foods that Song Meiling loves

After the hall is introduced, please move to the stairs. There is a huge bronze carving "Zhou Gong's ceremony" between the first floor and the second floor. On the upper steps, the second floor is divided into left and right wings, one wings lead to the guest room area, and a wing leads to the Hong Kong -style restaurant "Golden Dragon Hall".

When we go to the Jinlong Hall, we will see a small shop selling souvenirs for the Republic of China and a photo wall full of celebrities. There is a sense of time and space tunnel here, linking the historical history of the past.

After reading the old photos, through a door, a golden dragon -shaped fountain appeared in front of me. A clear water spit out of the high dragon head, and there were lucky coins invested by tourists in the pool. This rare three -claw gold dragon is much longer than the Garden Mountain Hotel. It is one of the relics left by the Shrine of Taiwan.

At the right hand of Jinlong, there are Hong Kong -style restaurants. The restaurant can see the Taipei Basin when the window is near the window. It can take the high -rise building during the day; the lights can be enjoyed at night. In the toilet near the Jinlong Hall, many ancient painting products in the Forbidden City of Taipei were hung. There have been anecdotes in a toilet. Calligraphy and calligraphy artists from the mainland claim that the discovery of ancient paintings is true.

If some readers have come here more than ten years ago, maybe another episode may have been heard. That is, the Yuanshan Hotel is not a "five -star", but the "five plum blossoms". That's because Chiang Kai -shek's most taboo "five -star" word, so he refused to participate in the restaurant star evaluation, so he had to create a "plum blossom".

Last year, the Yuanshan Hotel opened a special guide. You need to make an appointment first and go to the second floor lobby to gather. The hotel tour will bring us to a normal wall next to the souvenir shop and start explaining. The gathered politicians of the Yuanshan Hotel can be evacuated quickly in order to prevent accidents. The designer once secretly designed two secrets in the hotel, and did not even draw into the design draft. Only a few insiders. But decades have passed, and the accidents have not occurred after all. The secret road was put on hold and gradually deserted.

It was not until last year that the Garden Shan Hotel fixed the west side of the dense road and opened to the outside world.

Densely appear

Therefore, when our tourists were jamming in a deadly, a wall suddenly opened, and the noodles came to the noodles with wet, cold and moldy air, and a secret staircase appeared in front of them.

Figure: Xiaomi bucket

This dense road can't look to the end, and the four walls are arc -shaped, and they are all stabbing. The tour guide explained that this spurs are the muffled coatings for war and the function of explosion -proof fire prevention. Half of the stairs bent into slides, and the slide width is only for one person to sit down or slide luggage. If you want to slip all the way, it is quite thrilling. For the sake of safety during the guide, the slide part will not be opened.

Figure: Xiaomi bucket

The steep and slippery stairs meandered down, and the dim light made the atmosphere nervous. The total height of this secret road is 85 meters, and the gap is as high as six floors, but because it is not straightforward, I look back and see that the export is gone, and there is no end in front, as if gone for a long time. After finally reaching the bottom, a iron door was tightly tube. The guide said that behind the iron door was the dense forest in the back of the Yuanshan Mountain, so it could not be opened. Tourists stop here, and they can only return to their original road after taking pictures.

Returning from the entrance, everyone suddenly returned from the war at the atmosphere of war and felt a little unreal.

If you are still doing your best, you can also explore it at will after finishing the trip. At the end of the second floor, a "first lady coffee" is also a good place. It was once the venue of Jiang Song Meiling enjoyed afternoon tea. Now there are special souvenirs for sale.

Or you can choose to stay at the Yuanshan Hotel, maybe you will have a fate to visit the presidential suite of the Yuanshan Hotel. There are rare Kowloon walls in it, and the walls are all collected by Jiang Song Meiling on the walls, and the steward service of the US President Eisenho Royal, Jiang Jingguo's own haircut repair, etc. scene.

The official website of the Yuanshan Hotel can be booked

(The hotel, please go to the background to pay the advertising fee)

Generally, the tourists' Yuanshan tour is so far. In fact, we can only see less than half of what we can see. The Yuanshan friendship after the main building is not open to the outside world. Only members can enjoy it.

The membership price of the Yuanshan Associate House is about 60,000 yuan per year, and an additional deposit of 30,000 deposits; the family membership fee is about 100,000 yuan per year, and an additional 30,000 deposit is added. Each member also has monthly fees, minimum consumption, swimming pool cleaning fees, etc., and consumes more than 10,000 yuan per month. It is not that the official official is expensive, and the door cannot be knocked out.

The picture of the official website looks very "bold"

Besides, there are no developed attractions, such as the secret roads on the east side of the hotel, and a small villa of Kong Lingwei. I won't go into details here, and let's talk about the next part.

After the visit in the hotel, please don't rush to leave when you come out of the hotel. You still have to see through the parking lot. From the door of the hotel, when you walk to the lane, you will find the left and right stone lions. This stone lion carving is different from other places. The pair of stone lions, like the golden dragon, are all the remaining Taiwan Shrine, and it has been hundreds of years.

There are copper horses

From the corner of the parking lot, there is a engraved mountain stone standing, which is the cursive script of Yuyou Ren. This stone monument is also the relics of the Taiwan Shrine. It was originally called the "Monument to Dedication".

As the "dragon vein" of Taipei, Yuanshan silently witnessed the flow of the world like a cloud, and quietly hidden the moving story. When the epidemic passes, if you have the opportunity to come here, please give Yuanshan a little more time and listen to her story.
