Shilin Residence Park itself is beautiful with a variety of flowers and trees. There will also be seasonal flower shows at different times. Among them, the chrysanthemum show is a relatively large, varied and long-standing flower show. 2023 will be the 21st year. It is from November 24th to December 10th, for more than half a month, there will be various kinds of Dali chrysanthemums every year. In 2023, under the theme of "Chrysanthemum Art Life", a total of 13 major exhibition areas have been planned, covering a variety of chrysanthemum varieties such as Dali chrysanthemum, Homo, noodle chrysanthemum, and ichimonji chrysanthemum. In addition to basic flowers, some areas also combine elements such as bamboo art, installation art, and art paintings to present different aspects of chrysanthemums. The "Taiwan-Japan Friendship Kasama Chrysanthemum Festival Exhibition Area" is the first time this year to be jointly planned with Japan's Kasama Taiwan Office. Installations such as hand water and Kasama Inari Shrine's image torii are planned on site. There are also Japanese umbrellas and foxes in front of the green sculptures. Masks and other check-in devices. It is worth coming here to enjoy the flowers.

The Shihlin Official Residence has beautiful gardens, which are tended lovingly. The colorful flowers are very gratifying, especially in spring. Entrance to the garden is free, but there is a small charge to enter the main building, which was once occupied by President Chiang Kai-shek.

It is a separate admission to view the inside of the residence. It is worth a visit inside to see the furnishings, about a 30 minute self guided tour. It was a hot day when we went so glad it was air conditioned. No photos allowed.

It is definitely a great attraction in Taipei, especially it is located in this historical area. If you love the history and enjoy China civil war, you can explore more stories here.

You can enjoy the different seasonal scenery and decoration here, just get rid of some big festival flora there are crowded people, you can see the people only.

Every time visiting here is to refresh myself and enjoy the fresh air and think of the history.

It is one of the best attractions in Taipei.

It’s a suitable place for family traveling, especially when the exhibition is held.
However, the plants are not growing well, they need to be taken care of frequently.
Really hope the staff can understand this place more, sometimes they couldn’t answer the questions.

It is difficult for anyone without a knowledge of the history of modern China to appreciate the significnce of this estate. It was the Residence of Chiang Kai-shek, the man who had ruled the Republic of China from 1928 until his death in 1975. Chiang governed with an iron fist and no average person would have dreamed of entering here.It is therefore understandable that this picturesque estate retains its mystique almost 50 years after Chiang's passing.

The Official Residence was the home of Chiang Kai-shek, known as the Generalissimo, who was President of the Republic of China on Taiwan. Chiang was a strict disciplinarian who was more feared than loved. The ROC began to liberalize and evolve into the vigorous democracy it is today under his son, Chiang Ching-kuo. If there is a figure in Chinese history President Chiang resembles its is Tsao-Tsao. No-one would dare even utter Chiang's name. There's a saying in Chinese "Say Tsao-Tsao, Tsao-Tsao will come."

I came here and visit a few times. I finally took the tour of the residence. It provided a good history of Chiang Kai Sak. The garden setting is beautiful and peaceful. The residence is not large so it is not too difficult to walk through the vicinity.

This is purely for adults and those who are interested in history. It gives us a glimpse into the everyday live of the man who serve in the military and politics throughout his life. No photographs can be taken inside.

If you love flora and fauna and gorgeous gardens, then I recommend that you visit this attraction in Taipei's Shilin District.

This garden is one of the best kept gardens I have ever seen. The variety of flowers and foliage is spectacular. I just fell in love with the Orchid exhibit, so I took many photos of the different orchids in bloom!

There is a nice place to stop along the way and get a snack or drink. We enjoyed this CKS Garden so much that we spent almost 4 hours here, and could have spent the whole day!
