Marshal Zen Garden

introduce

The Marshal Zen Garden was once used as a Japanese officer's club, and in the latter part of World War II, it was converted into a guest house for the Japanese Kamikaze Secret Service. After the war, it was changed to the residence where Zhang Xueliang was imprisoned.

Although the building of the Zen Garden has been restored as it was, the interior furnishings have changed beyond recognition. The former master bedroom, guest room, study room, and dressing room have been changed into a dining room - "Hanqing Hall". The style of the restaurant is a combination of Chinese, Japanese and Western. There are not only Chinese-style mahogany carved tables and chairs, but also Japanese-style Tata rice and Western-style dining tables.

If you want to look for traces of the young marshal in the past, you might as well go to the restaurant in the Zen Garden. This restaurant was rebuilt from the master bedroom at that time. On the wall is a group photo of Zhang Xueliang and Ms. Zhao Si when they lived in Taiwan in 1947, and on both sides are Yu Youren's inscription: nourishing the righteousness of the world, and perfecting people through the past and the present. On the "Historical Corridor" outside the restaurant, there are many old black and white photos of Zhang Xueliang hanging, silently telling about the young marshal's life under confinement in Taiwan growing orchids, watching Beijing opera, and playing mahjong. In addition, there is a tea house in the restaurant, and the open-air cafe overlooks the entire landscape of Beitou, with a wide view.
