Prince Hotel Jinguashi

The architectural style of the crown prince hotel is similar to that of the Japanese Imperial Palace. There are living rooms and waiting rooms in the hotel. The building materials are mainly juniper, red sandalwood and cherry trees. The overall architectural landscape looks beautiful and elegant. There are flowers, plants and trees in the garden, especially when the wind blows slowly, you can smell the fresh flowers and plants, which makes your body and mind comfortable.

Because the prince hotel is located in the highland and the surrounding trees are dense, it has a certain degree of privacy. Here you can also enjoy the coastal scenery with excellent scenery and broad vision.

Prince Hotel Jinguashi

The scenic spot in Taiwan used to be a temporary hall built by Japan Mining Co., Ltd. to welcome the inspection of the crown prince of Japan (former Japanese emperor Showa) to the golden melon stone.

brief introduction

Japan Mining Co., Ltd. to welcome the Japanese Crown Prince (former Japanese emperor Showa) inspection of the temporary Xingguan stone, also known as the first hotel. According to the Bank of Taiwan Association, it was built by Tanaka Mining Co., Ltd. in 1922 for the former Japanese emperor Showa (then the crown prince) to inspect the mineral resources in Jinguashi. Although he came to Taiwan as a traveling hall for the prince, Prince Showa stayed in the Yan Family of Keelung and did not go to the prince hotel when he visited Keelung. Because of the red carpet, the local residents mistakenly thought it was the prince who had come, and spread the wrong information. Now it has become the "Prince Hotel".

Historical evolution:

After the restoration of Taiwan, it was taken over by TFC and changed into the "first guesthouse" for VIP guests. Later, when TFC closed its business, it was left unattended and no longer maintained. It was not until 1989 that it was transferred to Taipower Company to take over. In 1994, Taipower Company set up a repair unit to renovate the historic site without damaging its original features. Finally, the repair was completed in 1996. However, at that time, many people in the Jinguashi mining area died of silicosis because they worked in the mine for a long time. At that time, they thought it was an infectious lung disease, so the crown prince did not actually visit Jinguashi, leaving this one-day building for later generations to tell more ridiculous stories. After the restoration, Taijin took over the hall as the company's guest house. After the operation of Taijin, it was damaged in many places due to the typhoon. In September 1996, the Taipower Company, which took over the business, raised money from a special eucalyptus plant and contracted to renovate it according to its original appearance, so as to restore its original appearance, which is now open to the Chinese people. The crown prince hotel is built in Baiping, a standard Japanese style garden, golf driving range and archery range. It is of great historical value. The hotel is hidden in the woods. The building materials and shape are similar to those of a Japanese Imperial Palace. It is quite beautiful. At present, it is managed by Taipower and has been renovated. It will be shown to the Chinese people again. The building materials in the museum are all top-grade juniper, without nails, and all are connected by bamboo shoots. The house covers an area of 360 square meters, with about 141 square meters of Jianping. The interior is elegant, with living room, waiting room, and a few spiritual pillars with profound meaning. In the courtyard, there are pools, old trees, fragrant flowers and beautiful scenery. In the backyard, there are archery course and mini golf course. It is a very representative Japanese architecture.

Architecture:

The hotel is hidden in the woods. The building materials and shape of the hotel are similar to those of a Japanese Imperial Palace. In 1996, the company was reorganized according to its original appearance, and now it only provides group visits. The vestibule and backyard of the prince hotel are full of exotic flowers and plants, as well as hammer court, bow and arrow court and other facilities. It is one of the few traditional and wind buildings in Taiwan after Meiji. According to the design at that time, the moving lines are porch, Guangyuan (stepping wooden platform), Quci (reception area), Shengshou (kitchen and bathroom), zufu (interior space) and Ministry (room). The seats of Prince Hotel are very exquisite, which can be divided into prince's room, Prince's tea room (living room and study), guest's room, guest's tea room (living room), guest's room, guest's tea room (living room), guard's room, guard's tea room, etc.
