The Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall is a national monument built to commemorate Chiang Kai-shek, the former President of the Republic of China, and is a famous landmark and tourist attraction in Taipei City. The Memorial Hall is located in Zhongzheng District, Taipei City, at the eastern end of the memorial park, with the National Theater and National Concert Hall on its north and south sides, respectively. The main body of the Memorial Hall is a white four-sided building with a blue octagonal roof, symbolizing the ethical spirit of 'loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, love, trustworthiness, righteousness, and peace'. The Memorial Hall has 89 steps, representing Chiang Kai-shek's age at the time of his death. The ground floor houses a library and museum, documenting Chiang Kai-shek's life and deeds, as well as Taiwan's history and development. The upper floor is the main hall, containing a giant bronze statue of Chiang Kai-shek in a seated posture, and regularly holds a changing of the guard ceremony.
228 Peace Memorial Park
228 Peace Memorial Park is a historical site and municipal park located at No. 3 Ketagalan Boulevard, Zhongzheng District, Taipei City, Taiwan. The park features monuments commemorating the victims of the 1947 228 Incident, including the 228 Memorial Monument in the center of the park and the Taipei 228 Memorial Museum (housed in the former radio station building from the Japanese and KMT rule periods). The National Taiwan Museum is located at the park's northern entrance. The park also includes a bandstand and a fitness area. The park was originally built in 1900 during the Japanese colonial period, named 'Taipei New Park,' on the site of a former temple. It was Taiwan's first European-style urban park, built on land owned by the Governor-General's Office. In 1996, the Taipei City Government designated the former radio station building as a historical site. Two years later, the building became home to the Taipei 228 Memorial Museum, and the park was renamed 228 Peace Memorial Park.
