I am a Christian and it is very important to me to come here, because Li Chunsheng is one of the key figures in the Presbyterian Church in Taiwan, and the western-style building opposite can witness the prosperity of the year. The following is an excerpt from the official website: Attractions The well-known Dadaocheng rich businessman Li Chunsheng was a legendary Dadaocheng who made his fortune as a foreign comprador. He helped British businessmen manage the production and marketing of tea in northern Taiwan. He achieved good results. He was called "the father of Taiwan tea" and was exported to Taiwan. Pioneer of tea to all parts of Europe and America. Because he is a Christian and a well-known local wealthy businessman, he often comes forward to coordinate and resolve disputes between foreign businessmen and local residents, bringing things to a successful conclusion, and he is kind and enthusiastic, and enjoys a high reputation among the people. In addition, when Liu Mingchuan promoted the modernization drive, he also made a lot of contributions. The Li Chunsheng Memorial Church donated by future generations is to commemorate this immortal businessman. This two-story building is located on Guide Street. It was an area where foreigners lived in the late Qing Dynasty. It was the most prosperous neighborhood in Dadaocheng, where wealthy businessmen and foreign merchants gathered. Because the river is often flooded by the Tamsui River, the foundations of houses here are higher than normal. Although the exterior bricks of the building have been renovated, the front features are still well preserved, like a human face, the entrance is the mouth, and the two bull-ear windows are the eyes. This architectural style is the only one in Taipei City, and it is very distinctive.
