Old Well Villa has been temporarily closed since November 11, 114. Reopening date to be announced. Truth, a building that draws from natural craftsmanship; Goodness, a space where ancient and modern arts and culture flourish; Beauty, a backyard garden full of vibrant ecology. Washed by time, at the turning point of history, it has always maintained an understated elegance. "Caoshan" is not a mountain, but a general term for the valley area surrounded by Datun Mountain, Qixing Mountain, and Shamao Mountain. Old Well Villa was originally a guesthouse for the Taiwan Sugar Corporation. In 1949, when the Nationalist government relocated to Taiwan, Chiang Kai-shek resided here. The villa is quiet and pleasant, located at a strategic height in Caoshan, with the Keelung River and Tamsui River meeting before your eyes, offering a panoramic view of the natural beauty of Guandu Plain, Shezi Island, and Guanyin Mountain. In 1950, in commemoration of the Ming Dynasty philosopher Wang Yangming, "Caoshan" was renamed "Yangmingshan". Old Well Villa covers an area of 4275 square meters. The main villa is a typical Japanese-style building from the 1920s, with a building area of 584 square meters. The two acacia and sweetgum trees over a hundred years old in front of the main villa quietly tell the long passage of time. The interior space of the main villa is planned with a hall, a large living room, 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 also four small attached buildings around the main villa, which were originally for Chiang Kai-shek's entourage.
