Two major highlights at the intersection of Zhongzheng Road and Zhongyi Road: one is Hayashi Department Store, and the other is the Land Bank with its temple-like appearance. It was called the Kangyo Bank during the Japanese colonial era. 'Kangyo' in Japanese means to promote industry and reward businesses. The exterior architecture is very unique, featuring Greek temple-style columns neatly arranged on both sides. The main building stands like an equilateral triangle, giving a very stable impression. Tourists often photograph the spectacular full view of the Land Bank from the top floor of Hayashi Department Store. Many city tours also bring visitors here to admire the architectural craftsmanship. The high exterior corridor ceiling is where many swallows build their nests. When you look up at the magnificent columns here, you will also see swallows flying back and forth to feed their young, which is a very interesting scene at the Land Bank.
