The Taichung City Government (Chinese: 台中市政府; pinyin: Táizhōng Shì Zhèngfǔ) is the municipal government of Taichung.

History

Taichung City Hall (1920-1945)
Taichung City Hall (1945-2010)

Taichū City Government was established by the Governor-General of Taiwan and the Japanese colonial authorities on 1 October 1920. Following the handover of Taiwan from Japan to the Republic of China, Taichung had been reconstituted as a provincial city government on 25 October 1945. Taichung City merged with Taichung County to become a special municipality on 25 December 2010.[1]

Building

The first Taichung city hall, known as Taichung Shiyakusho, was constructed in 1911, when Taiwan was under Japanese rule. It has been turned into a cultural center since 2016. The current Taichung City Hall was completed and opened on 10 October 2010.[2]
