Genuineness: An example of the natural construction method Harmony: A cultural arena where the old and new meet Beauty: A secret garden with a vibrant ecological system that withstands the test of time and remains subtly elegant The Grass Mountain is not a mountain but a valley encircled by three mountains (Datun Qixing and Shamao mountains). When China rsquo;s Nationalist Government relocated to Taiwan in 1949 the then-President Chiang Kai-shek moved into the quiet Grass Mountain Chateau previously a guest house of Taiwan Sugar Company. Perched strategically on the mountaintop the chateau commands a view of such natural phenomena as the Guandu Plain Shezidao and Mt. Guanyin. Grass Mountain was renamed as Yangmingshan in 1950 in memory of the great philosopher Wang Yang-ming. The 4275 m2 Chateau has a Japanese-style main parlor which was common in the 1920s. Occupying an area of 584 m2 with aged trees by its gate the main parlor is an embodiment of nostalgia that consists of the hallway lobby reception room study room bedroom master bedroom living room guest room kitchen atrium balcony etc. The four smaller structures surrounding the main parlor which had been the dormitories of Mr. Chiang rsquo;s bodyguards were converted by the city government into artists rsquo; studios as part of an aesthetic space. Eventually those visiting the chateau will be able to engage themselves in unobstructed dialogues concerning ecology culture and arts.
