Wistaria Tea House

This guide to Wistaria Tea House in Taipei traces a wooden house built by Japan's colonial government in the 1920s, later home to an economist named Chou Te-wei, whose parlor became a nightly gathering point for dissidents debating democracy under martial law. You'll hear about the dangwai politicians who met here, some later swept up in the 1979 Formosa Incident. Best heard seated in the quiet courtyard, listening for what still lingers in the rooms.
