The Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall in Taipei is one of those places you pretty much have to see if you’re a tourist. I guess you could skip it, but why? It’s seriously impressive, it’s right in the middle of the city, and it’s free to visit.
It’s actually part of a huge compound that includes the National Theatre, the National Concert Hall, and park.
Admittedly, aside from marveling at the whole set-up, there isn’t a ton to do here.
But that set-up is quite impressive, not to mention the changing of the guard ceremony that you can watch if you’re there on the hour between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM.
I filmed it, so you can just watch the whole thing here if you want:
(But then again it’s like fifteen minutes long and is probably one of those “you had to be there” things, so maybe just go and see it in person instead?)
How to find it: I don’t think the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall technically has an address, but it’s close to the Zhongxiao Xinsheng subway station, and it’s extremely easy to find.
