I was in the Concert Hall during a performance today. Movement was restricted so as not to interfere with the recital. The exterior of the Concert Hall is a brilliant combination of gold and red, the colors associated in Chinese culture with good fortune. The interior is sumptuous. In addition to concerts, the hall hosts stores selling musical scores and other music-related items. The Concert Hall is in the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall precinct, across from the National Theater.

Really enjoying a walk through the National University of Taiwan during my visits, since 2009. Strongly recommended a walk from the main gate to the library.

Kishu An was first built in 1917, during the Japanese colonial era (1895-1945). Originally it was a Japanese-style pavilion. It was built close the Xindian River and has a pleasant outlook; it became a popular social area for residents south of the city. It was designated by Taipei City as a historical site in 2004. The site has literary associations; the Taipei City Government. now operates the "Kissan Literary Forest," which has become Taipei' City's literary base. Visitors are welcome.

The Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall resembles the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC. The Park, however, is quite unique. It is a park in traditional Chinese style. Apart from the gardens, it has a wall with Chinese windows. You will often see elderly Chinese men with caged songbirds. It's quite common to see old men playing traditional Chinese musical insruments together. By the way, the basement area of the CKS Hall has some interesting souvenir shops and some traditional Chinese restaurants.

Over 300,000 species of plants, shrubs and trees are on hand for public enjoyment and education in Taipei’s serene gardens.
Many residents of Taipei simply want some peace and quiet, in a city full of hustle and bustle. The trees are mature and the flowers are emerging with the advent of spring. Some visitors stroll, some jog. The Guest House of Imperial Envoys is worth a look. The docents in the Visitors Centre are helpful. By the way, the best access is by the Bo Ai Road entrance. Take Exit 3 from the Xiao Nan Men station on the Green Line and follow the signs. The Nanhai Road side is completely blocked off by a construction project,

Sixty-two landscaped acres of gardens and walkways surround this marble and tile landmark building.
If your time is short in Taipei, like it was for my wife and I on our 6 day Wendy Wu private tour of Taiwan in January 2020, you must make sure that if you visit nothing else in Taipei, you visit the National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall and Park. We were so grateful that our private guide included a visit here as an added extra before we left Taipei for our travel to Taroko Gorge. The National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall is located in the Zhongzheng District of Taipei. It is an imposing memorial erected as a pyramid as a lasting tribute to Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, the Chinese nationalist politician, revolutionary and military leader who served as the leader of the Republic of China between 1928 and 1975, first in mainland China until 1949 and then in Taiwan until his death. The memorial stands in the centre of a 25 hectare park housing three large buildings: the Memorial Hall, the National Theatre and the National Concert Hall and it also incorporates Liberty Square, a popular place not only for mass gatherings and protests but also for outdoor concerts, festivals and public exhibitions. Entry into the park is through an ornate archway gate. The gardens are beautifully landscaped and well kept. The four sided, white, 76 metre high Memorial hall was opened in 1980 and constructed using Taiwanese marble. The roof is blue and is in the shape of an octagon. There are two sets of stairs leading to the Memorial Hall each with 89 steps representing each year of Chiang Kai-Shek’s life. Once we walked up the stairs to the main entrance of the hall we stood in front of an impressive doorway which when opened, brought us into the large shrine room where a large bronze statue of Chiang Kai-shek stood before us. It was in this hall where we witnessed the solemn daily changing of the guard ceremony which occurs on the hour 9 times in the day from 9 am to 5 pm. This was a ceremonial exercise of great military precision. Visitors are asked to remain silent throughout this ritual and I am pleased to advise that everyone present when we were there appeared to observe this practice, which was very pleasing. It was good that our guide organised our visit here early in the morning because later in the day it often gets crowded when many locals visit the place. After the solemn changing of the guard ceremony we were taken to the impressive Exhibition Hall to view important aspects of Chiang Kai-shek’s life and his achievements in Taiwan. We were able to view with great interest many artifacts and memorabilia left by the great man’s Estate. These included, among other things, his uniforms, medals and even his Cadillac State cars. There were also many historic photos to view showing his influence on other world leaders of his time and of his family life. In a section of the hall there was even a replica of his office where he made his important decisions. The various exhibits on display were very well presented and well spaced out and had good easy to read descriptions and captions. The exhibition is a credit to the staff members who maintain the collections. At the end of our visit we felt we had learnt more about the life and times of Chiang Kai-shek and the influence he had on Taiwan and the world during his time as President than we knew before we arrived. This knowledge was invaluable as we continued our travels through Taiwan over the next 5 days given the important role this man played in Taiwan’s modern history. This is an attraction in Taipei to educate and inspire and one which should not be missed.

We came here by MRT. Entrance was free and there was a fair number of locals around, but not crowded. Had a fairly nice walk around with much greenery.
