In 1884, today's Chunghwa Road, Aikuo West Road, Chungshan South Road and Chunghsiao West Road were the sites of the just-constructed walls protecting Taipei City. Construction proceeded at the command of the Ching governor Liu Ming-chuan, and by about 1891 the facilities inside the city were nearing completion.
現在的中華路、愛國西路、中山南路及忠孝西路，在一八八四年是剛剛落成、保衛台北城的城牆，在清廷巡撫劉銘傳的建設下，大約在一八九一年整個城內設施趨於完備。
