Like watching the changing of the guards at Arlington cemetery - very efficient and mechanical - rather than the amateurish version in Santiago de Chile. Timings seem to vary - people mentioned 9am, but I saw it at 12 noon. Maybe every hour. Give yourself enough time to visit the free Chiang Kai-Shek museum downstairs and time to walk from...

The Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial and related museum are absolutely fascinating to anyone who has done his/her homework beforehand about Taiwan history. Good English translations of different exhibits.

It was under renovation when we were there. We were just outside and it was raining. Will go back there next time.

The tour guide whipped us in quite fast. It was interesting, but because I didn't really know much about Chiang Kai-Shek before I went it didn't mean much at the time.

Going to Taipei and not going there would be missing something, eventhough what it's representing is a bit controversial. The statue of the last taiwanese dictator is one of the biggest statue in Taiwan and yet, it seems small in this huge room. Also, the outside view of the opera house from the top of the Memorial is also worth...

The Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall is one of the most famous monuments in Taipei. It is easily accessible via the MRT (Exit 5 leads directly to it). The visit entails a lot of walking since it is very big and you need to climb some stairs leading to it. We stayed for the changing of the guards, but it was...

Another must when visiting Taipei. The memorial hall features relics of the great Chiang Kai Shek, from his military uniforms and shoes to his presidential car. An impressive collection of all his medals can also be seen in several glass enclosed showcases, that emits a certain energy that one can feel. A huge bronze statue of him with honor guards...

The National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall is one of the most famous monuments in Taipei which is built in memory of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, former President of the Republic of China. We visited there on a rainy day, but still nice to have the view of the park surrounding the monument. It is the largest memorial hall of Taiwan! and...
