Travel website highlights Taiwan’s presidential office (2015/04/30) Taiwan’s presidential office was listed on a travel website that specializes in describing unusual sights around the world. This red and white-themed building, built in a European Baroque style, was recognized by the travel site When On Earth as one of the world’s remarkable presidential offices. Ke Chiao-mei Presidential Office Guide I feel that the more than 10 years I’ve spent serving as a guide was time well spent. The office was originally completed in 1919 to serve as the office of the governor-general of the Japanese colonial government. After being destroyed in World War II, it was rebuilt in 1946. The reconstructed building kept the same external appearance and preserved this octagonal tower, which enhanced earthquake resistance. There was also this driveway, used by former President Chiang Ching-kuo, and the centerpiece of the building, the central tower. Ke Chiao-mei Presidential Office Guide The central tower has symbolic meaning. In 17th and 18th century arts and culture, it represented sovereign power of the monarch and ultimate authority. In other words, it was a symbol of the ruler’s governing power. Other presidential offices on the website’s list included the Cheong Wa Dae in Seoul, the White House in Washington DC and the Kremlin in Moscow.

中央塔設計+紅白色調 台入選特色總統府

我國總統府富有巴洛克風情，獨具特色，被外國旅遊網站選為最有特色的13個總統府之一。總統府導覽員直言，當之無愧！

紅白相間色調，建築設計飄出濃濃的歐洲巴洛克風情的我國總統府，被外國旅遊網站「身在人間」(When on Earth)，選為全球最有特色的總統府之ㄧ。

[[總統府導覽員 柯姣美]]
“我在這邊當導覽員10幾年了，我真的覺得，當之無愧”

總統府前身是日本總督府，1919年完工，二戰期間曾遭毀壞，1946年重建，不但外觀沒變，還保存這個用來強化防震的八角塔，以及前總統蔣經國使用的車道，而中央塔更是所有人目光焦點！

[[總統府導覽員 柯姣美]]
“這個中央塔，有他的象徵意義，就是在當年，那個年代，1600、1700那個年代，他的文化、藝術，他所代表的就是君王，極權象徵，也就是統治者，高高在上的統治象徵”

我國總統府與包括韓國青瓦台、美國白宮跟俄國克里姆林宮等。
