The mention of historic landmark preservation in Taiwan generally brings to mind buildings that are old or possess unique architectural features. Examples include buildings with traditional Chinese pagodastyle roofs or English and Dutch colonial architecture, like Fort San Domingo in Tanshui.
在台灣談起古蹟保存，人們總是想到年代較久，或是建築技術上有特出表現的建築物，例如中國傳統式的燕尾飛簷，或是荷蘭人及英國人留下的殖民建築，如淡水的紅毛城。
