Resting on the platform even in the heat of midday is refreshing and the refreshing cool sea breezes make it possible to forget the unbearable heat of the tropics. From this vantage point once can also see the incoming boats with their catches of fish"" (Kano 1956, p. 70).

The building was shaped to resemble the Sino-Japanese character for ""sun"" 日 [when viewed from directly above]; the architecture is an example of the Renaissance style of many official structures during Japanese rule. The central tower of the Governor's office reached 65 meters (Matsumoto 1990, p. 115)(Lai 1997, p. 87). Hyung Gu Lynn writes that ""the new Government General of Korea's headquarters were completed in 1926, sparking a spate of new postcards that captured it from an array of angles (Lynn 2007, p. 8). The same can be said about the Taiwan counterpart, though Warner's collection shows only one other angle [0205], this building was the subject of numerous colonial postcards based on photos from several angles.
