[2025 Taipei Attraction] Travel Guide for Rose Garden - Shilin Residence (Updated May)

The Shilin Official Residence, located on Section 5 of Zhongshan North Road, holds different flower shows in every season. In January, roses are in full bloom, and it is also the most famous flower-viewing spot in Taipei. It is common to see many people who love taking photos of beautiful things holding digital cameras and carefully capturing the beauty of flowers. In fact, the Shilin Official Residence has a vast area, covering about 13 hectares, and has a rose garden that has a history of 60 years. The rose garden of the official residence was initially built in the main hall with an area of ​​about 3,000 square meters, and then the area was continuously expanded to 4,000 square meters, with about 200 species and nearly 5,000 roses planted. I took a picture of the green sculpture of a loving swan surrounded by the happiness of blooming hydrangeas, as well as the cute upside-down man 😆 There are treble clef symbols and notes on the staff, and there is a torii gate next to it, accompanied by the hydrangeas on the periphery. I also took pictures of a variety of different flowers and saw bees 🐝 collecting nectar. My favorites were the light pink three sisters and the bright red roses. Each rose in the rose garden actually has its genus name. There are also hydrangeas hidden in the official residence. The flowers with different colors on the petals and centers are even more precious. Photographing flowers from different angles can show their different beauty. The whole park has a European romantic and elegant style, and you can smell a faint floral fragrance when you get close to the flowers. 📍Address: No. 60, Fulin Road, Shilin District, Taipei City Entrance to the park is free👍 #Taipei #romanticgetaway #Shilin Residence #Local Tour #romantic #travel #Taipei Good Places

#Spring0yenTrip I visited the Shilin Residence in the afternoon. It was originally built as the Shilin Horticultural Testing Branch during the Japanese colonial period, and is known as the residence where Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek and his wife Soong Mei-ling lived after the war. The grounds are decorated with a garden that combines Chinese and Western styles, and flowers such as tulips, roses, and chrysanthemums bloom in every season. The rose garden in spring is particularly impressive. It is a place rich in nature, where you can even see squirrels. In the main building, you can get a glimpse of the living space of Chiang Kai-shek and his wife, and you can also see the bed where Chiang Kai-shek died. There is also a chapel and an ecological garden on the grounds, creating a space where nature and history are in harmony. This place, where architecture from the Japanese colonial period and Taiwan's modern history intersect, was perfect for spending some quiet time.
