The government assigned Gao Cing general contractor to take over the running of the building. The opening scheduled to be on February 8th. Located on Weiminstreet, the Tainan County Governor’s Residence has nearly 20 governor visited. It was a hotel for emperor, and an important brick building in Japanese Ruled period. The idea of “Inherit legacy of culture” is the vision of the reconstruction of the building. The final is to make the building a “Salon of Knowledge”. One of the speciality of the building is that you can see a wall full of books when you walk into the residence, cause this is a building bull of culture heritage.
