Following the century-old building Taichung City Office reopened to the public on February 27, 2016. The Taichung Prefecture Department (formerly Taichung City Government) canceled the re-issue after Mayor Lin Jialong took office (the original plan was Ancient Hotel), and further planned to be the Taichung City Museum.

After the Taichung Municipal Government obtained a central government subsidy of 360 million yuan, it plans to include the Datun County Office around the Taichung Prefecture Hall and other historical buildings in the plan to establish a unique humanistic and historical block of the Taichung City Museum. Combined with the plans of Taichung Cultural Resources Bureau and Dufa Bureau, including cultural and creative stores and green air railway plans, bicycle lanes, etc., Taichung City’s humanistic leisure map and attractions will be more distinctive.

Taichung Prefecture Hall
Address: No. 99, Minquan Road, West District, Taichung City
Taichung Prefecture Hall was built in 1913 (the second year of Taisho). It was designed by Matsunosuke Moriyama. The first phase of the project was completed in 1918 and after four expansion projects, it was completed in 1938. After 1945, it became the seat of the Taichung Municipal Government. In 2010, the office area of the Taichung Municipal Government was moved to a newly built municipal building. The Taichung Prefecture Department failed to conduct plans and investment, and then planned to become the Taichung City Museum.
