Most public buildings of the era exhibit palatial or nationalistic features, from the Talungtung Confucian Temple to the Yuanshan Martyrs ’ Shrine, the Kaohsiung branch of the Bank of Taiwan, the Grand Hotel, Chungshan Hall on Yangmingshan, the National Palace Museum, and the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall.
當時的公共建築，大多呈現宮殿式的民族情調，從大龍峒孔廟、圓山忠烈祠、高雄台銀分行、圓山飯店、陽明山中山樓、故宮博物院，一直到最後的中正紀念堂，莫不如此。
