The Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall is dedicated to whom? That's like asking, "who is buried in Grant's Tomb?", a famous trick-question. It's dedicated, of course, to the first president of the Republic of China, Mr. Chiang (October 31, 1887“April 5, 1975). Constructed in 1987, the site occupies more than 250,000 sq. meters. It's a memorial unlike any you've ever seen because of the varied activities that go on there, it's more of an environment dedicated to life, fun, flags, weddings, celebrations and much more. It's actually a huge walled park, also. It's the most visited site in Taiwan by foreign tourists. Take our video tour first and you'll know what to expect when you get there in person. Wait until you see the Lantern Festival!
