The Japanese had introduced a mixture of European architectural styles, so that the streets of Taipei had acquired a Western appearance. Architecture from the period that survives today includes such government buildings as the Taipei Guest House, the Provincial Museum, the Control Yuan, and the Presidential Palace, as well as the once privately owned Yuanshan Villa.
台北街道，在日本引進歐洲建築風格的混合下，洋溢著一種西洋新風貌，包括今天的台北賓館、省立博物館、監察院、總統府，還有這幢私人的圓山別莊，都在當時陸續落成。
