Lin An Tai Ancestral House
One of the oldest buildings in Taiwan, Lin An Tai is another example of an ancestral house where time seems to have stood still. Step back in time and enjoy the buildings and gardens hidden behind the walls of the estate.

Only open on a select few dates each year, the Taipei Guest House is a grand baroque building that owes more to western architecture than other ancestral houses but this only adds to its uniqueness and charm.
