And because of the long-term governmental policy emphasizing thrift, the Presidential Palace has never undertaken large-scale renovations. Therefore, when it rains, one is bound to see water leaking through windows, doors and ceilings. This has become the natural water source for the palace's potted plants.
而由於過去長期來的勤儉建國，府內從未進行大規模的翻修，因此下雨時門窗與屋頂難免滲漏，倒成了室內盆栽的天然水源。
