My Fulbright Year in Taiwan

In the outskirts of Yilan County is a forest preserve. Back in the 1960s, President Chiang Kai-Shek visited a few times, and spent the night in one of the forestry department’s cabins. The cabin was renamed the Grandpa Chiang Cottage 蔣公行館 in his honor, and it’s preserved in its original state as a historical site. Reminds me of how houses in the US like to brag “George Washington slept here.”
