True, a building that takes inspiration from natural construction methods Good, a place where ancient and modern arts and culture flourish together Beautiful, an ecologically vibrant backyard garden Through the washing of time and the turning points of history, it has always maintained an elegant, unassuming posture "Caoshan" is not a mountain, but refers generally to the mountain valley area surrounded by Daitoushan, Qixingshan, and Shamaoshan. The Caoshan Guest House was originally a guest house of the Taiwan Sugar Company. In 1949, when the National Government moved to Taiwan, General Chiang Kai-shek moved in. The guest house is quiet and pleasant, located at a strategic high point of Caoshan. The Keelung River and the Tamsui River converge before the eyes, and the Guandu Plain, Shezi Island, and Guanyin Mountain offer a breathtaking natural scenery. In 1950 (the 39th year of the Republic of China), it was renamed "Yangming Mountain" in memory of the Ming Dynasty philosopher Wang Yangming. The Caoshan Guest House covers an area of 4,275 square meters. The main guest house is a typical Japanese-style building from the 1920s, with a building area of 584 square meters. Two old ceiba trees and phoenix trees in front of the main guest house quietly tell the story of the long passage of time. The internal space of the main guest house is divided into a corridor, a grand hall, a reception room, a study, a bedroom, a master bedroom, a living room, a guest room, a kitchen, a courtyard, and a terrace. There are four additional buildings around the main guest house, originally the quarters for the guards and attendants of General Chiang Kai-shek. Later, when the Taipei City Cultural Bureau carried out renovations, these four small buildings were combined with the art exhibitions of the main guest house, and were transformed into artists' studios, aiming to make the Caoshan Guest House a field of aesthetics that integrates ecology, culture, and art, and can have close communication and dialogue with the public.
