National Tainan Social Education Hall was formerly the Wu Park built by local gentleman Wu Shang-xin during the Daoguang Period of the Qing Dynasty. It was reconstructed as the Tainan Official Residence during the Japanese Occupation Period and later renamed as the Tainan Meeting Hall, which acted as an important gathering place for the citizens at the time. After WWII, it became the Zhongshan Hall and in 1955, it was renamed the Provincial Social Education Hall and renovations were conducted. Today, only part of the garden is preserved.
