They tore down the Matsu Temple, which was the center of religious life in Taipei, and built Kodama Goto Memorial Hall (honoring the fourth Governor-General Kodama Gentaro and Senior Minister Goto Shinpei). Western classical music was played on the hall's open-air stage all day long. All sorts of celebrations were also held here, as was the incomparably famous World Expo.
他們將原先台北城的信仰中心天后宮拆除，改建「兒玉．後藤紀念館」，彰顯第四任台灣總督和當時實際掌政的民政局長官的政績；露天音樂台成日演奏西洋古典音樂；各種慶典也多半在此舉行，最著名的莫過於萬國博覽會了。
