The Little white house (小白宮) in Danshui is the former chief taxation officer's residence built during the Ching Dynasty in 1870. The colonial style architecture of the building attracts tourists and locals to visit. The building is surrounded by a nice garden which features a breathtaking view on the Danshui river. I heard the sunsets are beautiful here. In the late 20th century the building was deteriorating and the government almost tore it down, but the locals fought for the preservation of the building, which resulted in a protection and subsequent renovation in the late 1990s. Today it's one of the historic gems of Danshui, one that you can't miss, in case you're visiting. You have to pay 40TWD to enter (about 1 Euro).See my photos of the Little white house:
