The First Guest House is an architectural relic from the Japanese colonial period, featuring a unique blend of traditional Japanese and Western styles. Originally constructed in 1912, the Guest House was part of a memorial complex created by the Japanese government to honor the 223 crew members of the Shomiso warship who perished in an explosion in the Penghu waters in 1908. It was rebuilt in 1940 on the northern highlands of Guanyinteng due to the development of Magong's First Fishing Harbor, offering a broader and more expansive view. After World War II, the Nationalist Government took over the Guest House; President Chiang Kai-shek, upon residing there, updated the interior decor from traditional Japanese to Western-style living spaces and added an underground wartime command center. During the 1958 Kuming Artillery Bombardment, it became the operational command center for military efforts. Following President Chiang Kai-shek's return to Taipei, it was renamed the First Guest House. In 2011, designated as a county-level cultural heritage site and after completing its main structure restoration, the First Guest House officially opened to the public. Today, visitors can see the "Tang Bohong-style" roof design at the entrance antechamber, floors and walls constructed from unique shell sand from Penghu. The interior features the living ambiance of President Chiang's residence, while the surrounding serene and elegant garden further enhances the charm of this blend of Eastern and Western architectural styles.
