The office building of the Taiwan Railway Administration, built during the time of Liu Ming-chuan, still stands side-by-side with modern high-rise buildings, lit brightly at night by neon signs.
在高架公路上俯瞰今日的大稻埕，劉銘傳手創的機器局（現在已改成鐵路局辦公處）式樣未變，考究的建築依然氣勢雄偉。它的後側是西寧北路，路上許多新的高樓聳立，很多海鮮店的招牌在那裡發出耀眼的光芒，其中最引人注目的是「海霸王」和它的分店「新海霸王」。
