Lin An Tai Ancestral House

Most Taiwanese houses used to look like the Lin An Tai homestead. Only a few of these traditional houses, with beautiful, sloping Chinese roofs and courtyards in the center, remain today. These stone and brick houses are based on a design that dates back to the Qing dynasty. Interestingly, Lin An Tai home was actually built in a different part of Taipei City in 1783 and moved here nearly 200 years later. This house has been preserved to educate people about Taiwan's history and is definitely worth a visit. Admission is free.
