The Shihlin Mansion is backed by Fushan Mountain and is adjacent to Zhongshan North Road. Now the Shihlin Mansion has been converted into an ecological park in Taipei City. It is a good place for citizens to get close to the green space and relax.
Shilin Mansion is a two-story Western-style small house. The entrance is facing a large dragon and phoenix root carving hallway. Four reproductions of Chinese paintings are hung on the hallway walls. The tables and chairs are a combination of Chinese and Western styles, and the floor is covered with dark red carpets. The furnishings in the bungalow are elegant and simple. The first floor is the living room, and the second floor is the bedroom of Jiang Song and his wife.
The restaurant has a Western-style long table and a Chinese-style round table. When there are few people, they eat at the round table. The large living room, which was expanded in 1952, is spacious and has four Chinese and Western style reception areas. There is a western-style fireplace on the wall, and four large round windows in the style of Suzhou gardens, three of which can enjoy the beauty of the inner garden, and one is embedded with a hand-painted painting by Song Meiling.
Shilin Horticulture, which is adjacent to the bungalow, is dedicated to orchid cultivation. The arch bridge, curved pool, flowing water and other oriental garden landscaping in the Chinese garden make people feel like they are in ancient China. The European-style garden has a greenhouse potting area and a rose garden. The combination of Chinese and Western styles in one place at the same time does not appear abrupt and weird, but it has a different kind of beauty.
There is a coffee shop at the exit of the official residence. Many people sit and chat in the open-air bar area at the entrance of the cafe. The signboard of the cafe is a large black and white photo.
