When the Nationalist government retreated to Taiwan in 1949, the palace treasures were once again whisked in a perilous journey aboard a naval ship and stored in Wufeng Township, Taichung County, where the provincial government was located. There they stayed until 1965, when they were transferred to their current home in the Waishuanghsi area of Taipei City.
