travels past: Chiang Kai-shek memorial

History has a way of romanticising people who fought for their ideals. And what better way to immortalise these heroes but with a memorial built to honor their work.

The Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall sits in the Liberty Square surrounded by a park, with the National Theater and National Concert Hall nearby.  The main hall is  where Chiang Kai-shek’s statue sits and where the impressive changing of the guards ceremony takes place.  Definitely, this is worth a visit –  whether trying to get a glimpse of how Taiwan came to be or just wanting to stroll around the Hall and its expansive grounds.
