A great place to start a tour in Taipei. A few tips - if you get there with a Taxi, ask the driver to bring you to the main entrance - spend some time in the gardens from both sides - many events are beting hold there. Check the events' calander - there are some good cafeterias inside the hall... More

It was a very impressive display that lasted nearly 15 mins. It begins at the top of every hour. It was extremely hot and humid the day we went. I would recommend bringing bottled water because the heat is not for the faint hearted. The ceremony displays the guard's abilities to execute the bayonet routine in honor of Chiang Kai-Shek....

When I first saw the building, I was surprised by its huge size. Also, it is always interesting to see guards changing shift, which happens every an hour.

It was awesome. Espeacially seeing the big statue of Chiang Kai Shek. I admire how long the soldiers stand without moving a flinch.

Imposing building in carefully manicured gardens with detailed exhibits and photos that tell the story of a hero and his country. The exhibition halls were most interesting. Take some time to walk the grounds too and admire the Opera House and Concert Hall.

Overwhelming for its size, as well as the size of the park it's located in. Make sure you experience a changing of the guards.

I found the immense scale of this set of buildings to be impressive. The concert hall and the theater hall were constructed in the traditional Chinese style. On the other hand, the main memorial hall and the two opposing halls seem to be in a provincial style with a jarring set of colors (blue and white).

Dont just take photographs of the Memorial Hall itself, take a walk around the garden. You will find some real cute and approachable squirrels! If thats not what interests you, then plan and schedule your time for the guard show.

The Memorial Hall is located at a LRT station. Besides the Hall it is a National Auditorium. The buildings are nice. There is a soldier marching every hour so please plan your time if you want to witness the show. Otherwise, nothing much to see there except a statute.. My friend and I had an unique experience which we had... More
