If you come into the downtown area, the National Policy Foundation and the Taiwan Research Institute, set in the middle of the concrete jungle, would, on the other hand, be more reminiscent of the Heritage Foundation or the Brookings Institution in Washington, with large numbers of retired government officials, and therefore tight security, in their modern office buildings.
若進入市區，位於水泥叢林間的國家政策研究基金會、台灣綜合研究院，因為許多政府卸任政務官任職其中，辦公大樓式的建築中警衛森嚴，有幾分神似華府市區內傳統基金會與布魯金斯研究所的氣氛。
