Chiang kai shek
The Memorial Hall is white with four sides. The roof is blue and octagonal, a shape that picks up the symbolism of the number eight, a number traditionally associated in China with abundance and good fortune. Two sets of white stairs, each with 89 steps to represent Chiang's age at the time of his death, lead to the main entrance. The ground level of the memorial houses a library and a museum documenting Chiang Kai-shek's life and career, with exhibits detailing Taiwan's history and development. The upper level contains the main hall, in which a large statue of Chiang Kai-shek is located, and where a guard mounting ceremony takes place at regular intervals.

Came here in the late afternoon so it was cooler but the sky was just beautiful with such a large landscape of garden plots and sight of memorial hall. The contrast of white building against the blue sky was perfect for photography. Watch the flag lowering at CKS.
Another popular check-in point for tourists who come to Taiwan, very hot!!
There are a lot of people, like an activity courtyard. There are students coming to practice dance, practicing a yoyo, very cute.
The memorial hall is worth a visit. There will be a parade of duty exchange inside the hall every hour.
super monumental. amazing galleries as well as a fascinating statue inside.
Great spot to visit, with a museum in day time and also a wonderful night view
