Shilin Official Residence Park covers an area of approximately 12.9 hectares. Due to its proximity to Zhongshan North Road, it offers quick access to the Presidential Office Building and is surrounded by the Fushan mountain range. Its superior terrain and excellent geographical location led to its use as the daily residence of the late President Chiang Kai-shek starting in 1950. Because the official residence was established here, reconstruction and new construction in the adjacent areas were strictly prohibited, allowing the official residence park to maintain its original natural landscape with chirping insects, singing birds, and beautiful scenery, making it an excellent place for suburban recreation. In 1996, the official residence was first opened to citizens for horticultural viewing and leisure. The Rose Garden was Mrs. Chiang's favorite garden; the romantic and beautiful scenery in the Western-style garden is the most frequent location for wedding photos; the arched bridges, winding ponds, and flowing water in the Chinese-style garden, with their Eastern garden landscaping, make one feel as if they are in an ancient Chinese courtyard. The official residence park is mainly divided into the Outdoor Music Stage, Rose Garden, Theme Area, Inner Garden, Main Residence, Hiking Area, Western-style Garden, Chinese-style Garden, Kaige Hall, Xinlan Pavilion, Horticultural Exhibition Hall, and Ciyun Pavilion. Every March, nearly 100 varieties and about 2,000 blooming roses can be admired in Mrs. Chiang's favorite Rose Garden; the Theme Area and Hiking Area are the meticulously planned key exhibition areas for the annual Chrysanthemum Exhibition and Tulip Exhibition; in the Western and Chinese-style gardens, beautiful seasonal flowers can be admired.
