日本時代的建築物真的都非常漂亮，旁邊現在有一個小小的公賣局專賣店，可以買到一些特別的東西，不過進去是沒有坡道的，希望可以改進

1913年日治時期始建成的專賣局、控制當時重要民生物資。尖塔紅磚建築的專賣局、紅磚牆之間夾雜白色橫帶、構成一座華麗的建築物、同時是國定古蹟。專賣局現為台灣菸酒公司總公司、沒有開放參觀、只能在外拍照。

Many older people regard the Japanese colonial era (1895-1945) with some nostalgia. Indeed, many elderly people speak better Japanese than Mandarin. Unlike Korea, Japanese rule in Taiwan was relatively benign. Taiwan was part of the Japanese Empire, and the Japanese undertook to develop the economy, because it was intended that Taiwan would remain attached to Japan. The State Tobacco Monopoly Administration headquarters is a melding of classical European and Japanese architectural styles, typical of significant buildings of this era.

The former State Tobacco Monopoly Administration building dates from the Japanese colonial era (1895-1945). It is a classic Japanese building, a mixture of Japanese construction and classic European style. It is certainly a grand building, one of the most impressive in the Zhongzheng district. . The Tobacco Monopoly was crucial to the finances of the Japanese colonial administration and the Kuomintang government, as both relied heavily on the Tobacco Monopoly to finance public spending. It was not popular. In fact, a dispute over the tobacco tax led to the 2-28 confrontation in 1947 between the KMT government and the native Taiwanese, which poisoned relations between the KMT and the Taiwanese for many years. Those with memories going back 40 years or so will remember "Long Life" cigarettes, which were produced by the Tobacco Monopoly, and smoked by almost every man in Taiwan.

Наследство колониальной зависимости. Шикарное культурное архитектурное наследство. Нужно понимать, что Тайвань японцы включили в состав империи. Навсегда, как её неотъемлемую часть, так они тогда думали. И строили тоже навсегда. Кирпичное красное здание просто шикарно по архитектуре и соразмерности. В русском языке говорят ни убавить, ни прибавить.
