Taipei Story House

The Taipei Story House, formerly known as the Yuanshan Mansion, was built in 1913 and now it's a historic house in the Zhongshan District of Taipei Taiwan. This is the only English style home in Taipei and is now a museum on the grounds of the Taipei Expo Park where the world famous Floral Show is held every year. What really got my attention was of course it's European architecture in a city where the main influence is the Japanese architecture. Japan ruled Taiwan from 1895 to 1945, their influence is seen all throughout the country, not only in the culture but also in culinary offerings. Taiwan is a wonderful country to visit, the people are warm and friendly and the food is excellent!
