Railway Department of the Office of the Governor-General of Taiwan

The Railway Department of the Office of the Governor-General of Taiwan (Chinese: 台灣總督府交通局鐵道部) is a National Historic Site in Taiwan, also known as the Taihoku Railway Bureau or the Railway Department of the Office of the Governor-General of Taiwan's Bureau of Transportation. The site, near the Taipei North Gate, was in use for railway administration during the late Qing dynasty, but the extant building is a Japanese colonial administrative building in Taipei dating from 1919. It was granted national monument status in 2007, and is a part of the National Taiwan Museum.[1][2][3]
