The place is huge and has a beautiful architecture . I would strongly recommend history buffs to visit this place. Lots of memorabilias and artifacts surrounding Chiang Kai-Shek's life are on display.

This imposing white monument with its distinctive blue octagonal roof is Taipei’s greatest cultural landmark . The museum below has some fine Kuomintang political party propaganda. Read more

Great place to admire the architecture and to learn some history of Taiwan . Stand in the middle point and you get the 360 view of 4 buildings

Nathan

A must-see in Taipei. Beautiful surroundings, and the museum inside the memorial is one of my favorites, explaining the history of the ROC in Taiwan in a surprisingly politically-neutral way.

Brandon Lee

Very impressive building and park grounds. Nice place to take a walk and witness the unintentionally hilarious changing of guards every hour on the hour (a lá Monty Python’s Ministry of Silly Walks).

Chris Lee

Nice architecture and fun fill with historical education for the young ones and also tourist .

Alonso Espinoza

Beautiful gardens , monuments . They had a snoopy exhibition as well . The changing of the guard was awesome! Great for pictures!!!

Mary S

Awesome! Free museum to learn all about Taiwan. Beautiful building and grounds. Make sure to watch the changing of the guard that happens each hour.

Hayo Bart

Really love this piece of architecture , much better than Sun Yat-sen's Memorial Hall . Don't forget to watch the hourly changing of Royal Guards , though expect some Chinese crowds.

Venoth

The National Performing Arts Centre is also within the same compound. A world class centre that has numerous international shows all year round.

Kim Pham

Definitely worth going through the museum . Fascinating history. They do a changing of the guards every hour as well .

Connie Chiu

Very impressive. If you go at the right time, you can watch the ritual of the sentries switching post at the memorial.

Josh A

Beautiful place. Walk around outside in the trees and flowers . Go inside and learn about CKS. Also home to the Theater , a bookstore , some food options.

J Kofler

Don't miss the changing of the guards , very impressive. On a hot day, better go to the garden part, it's cooler near the pond and under the trees .

Fenny 利清芳

So HUGE!!! Wo Ai Taiwan!! You must visit here whenever you come to Taipei City !!! Amazing building!!!

Robin Chen

Tourist hotspot. Besides the main attraction , it is surrounded by mini parks with small ponds of fish . Good place to walk I guess.

Brandon F.

Worth seeing for its scope, but not much else besides the bronze statue of Kai-Shek. The weekends will have you people watching . That's when the area really comes to life.

Nuri Jeon

An absolute place to visit to understand more about Taiwan and their efforts toward democracy. The top floor with statue and terras looking down the city will be impressive.

L M

Beautiful place with tons of history. You can even catch the changing of the guards that happens hourly!

Gary Hor

Massive. Touristy . But still a must visit. Marvel at it all. Take a 360-degree panoramic photo while you're at it.

Venoth

Some very rare photographs are also on display. This one was taken during his visit to India. Picture taken with M.K. Gandhi.

Arjan Timmermans

The scale of this complex is breathtaking. A must-visit. Climb up the memorial building for a great view .

This monument for Chiang Kai-shek is a must-visit. Inside, the massive Memorial Hall is where you'll learn about his life and the history of Taiwan . This place has its own MRT Station (Xindian line ).

Jernej

Huge plaza with concert and theatre hall on each side. On the end it's memorial site . Very beautiful structures . Inside memorial hall there is a change of guards every full hour.

David F

Get to the changing of the guard at about a quarter to the hour for a good vantage point. The last "change" finishes, not starts, at 17:00.

Nice spacious place to chill and also do some photography . Best time to come is in the late afternoon and early evening

This place is so grand. I was in awe for 30 minutes. Changing of the guards every hour and a special one at 5pm including the lowering of the flag

Jas

This is the memorial of former president Tchang Kaï-Chek. Don't miss the guard change every hour. And feed the fish ;)

Venoth

One of the many Cadillac's used by the man as his official state car. More like this on display here.

Vickie Wang

Don't forget to look up after the changing of the guards .

Come weekend mornings to see it bustling with locals doing various activities. Come weekdays for a quieter experience.

Take time to stroll by the ponds and gardens . Get a good spot 15 minutes before the hour to watch the changing of the guard . – Green Guide Editor

One of Taipei's landmarks not to be missed. It covers a huge space but not as intimidating as Beijing's.

Julia von Dosky

The history museum was interesting. The view from the highest point is worth all the steps.

When entering the hall take a right and stand by the fan to cool down :)
