Chiang Kai-shek Memorial ParkThe pride of Taipei, the magnificent Chiang Kai-shek Memorial
Park is a walled complex built in memory of the former Taiwanese
President. It contains an impressive, pyramid-shaped white monument
to Chiang Kai-shek, capped with a blue-tiled roof, as well as the
National Concert Hall and National Theatre. All stand inside a
lovely park, fronted by a vast plaza where there are often folk
performances or other events being held. The Memorial is also the

draws thousands of lantern-carrying revellers to mark the Chinese
New Year. Address: South Road, Chungshan Transportation: MRT lines Danshui-Xindian, or Beitou-Nanshi, alighting
