Liberty Square, Taipei
Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall is part of Liberty Square, Taipei, a public square featuring many landmark buildings, preceded by a massive Chinese-style gate. Even the gate is breathtaking.

My wife rented a cheongsam, and we took perfect photos here, with the gate and other buildings serving as the backdrop. If you return at night, the gate is illuminated and looks stunning.

Inside the square, there are two orange buildings: the National Concert Hall and the National Theater and Concert Hall.

Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall
The blue-and-white Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall sits at the rear of Liberty Square.

This monument was built to honor General Chiang Kai-shek, a renowned 20th-century Chinese military leader who fought against the Communists and Japan. Unfortunately, they lost this war and were forced to flee to Taiwan, which is now a free country.

Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall is impressive, bearing some resemblance to Beijing's Temple of Heaven, but in my opinion, it appears less ornate.

Inside, there is a free museum (more like a mini-museum) and a hourly guard-changing ceremony for you to watch.

How to Get There
Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall is located in Zhongzheng District, Taipei City, Taiwan.

Transportation is convenient, and you can easily reach the nearest subway station and walk for 1 minute to arrive!
