The former site of the Japanese Taiwan Bank in Jiujiang is located at No. 85 Binjiang Road, Xunyang District, Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province, China (formerly No. 14 Punpu Road). It was the former branch of the Taiwan Bank in Jiujiang before World War II. In 1986, it was listed as a cultural relic protection unit of Jiujiang City, and in 2006, it was listed as a cultural relic protection unit of Jiangxi Province.

In November 1911, the Japanese Taiwan Bank established a branch in Jiujiang. After 1985, the site was used as office space by the Jiujiang Federation of Literary and Art Circles, the Social Sciences Federation, and the Overseas Chinese Federation.

The site is a two-story brick-concrete building, 24 meters wide and 12 meters deep, with a floor area of 576 square meters. It faces south and overlooks the Yangtze River. Its architectural style reflects the Western architectural revivalism trends of the 20th century. In 1992, when the Jiangyin Hotel was built to its left, significant cracks appeared in the northeast corner wall of the building. In 1999, a major renovation was carried out, largely preserving the original appearance, with only minor modifications made to the second-floor balcony.
