The Grand Hotel

The Grand Hotel Taipei - The original site was once the Taiwan Shrine built by the Japanese during the Japanese colonial period. Due to its location on the top of the Jian Tan Mountain, it stands out above the Taipei Basin and has an excellent geographical location in feng shui. The hotel roof uses the hipped roof style. The hotel's architecture features a considerable number of dragon carvings, so some people call this hotel the "Dragon Palace". In addition to dragon shapes, there are also Chinese architectural patterns such as stone lions and plum blossoms.
