Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall 國立中正紀念堂

Chiang Kai-shek has his own Memorial Hall!  Opposite was the National Music Hall, and in the middle was some festival going on.  By luck we arrived just in time for the changing of the guard.  It feels a bit strange being in countries where leaders are elevated to a semi-deity level.

Cihui Temple 慈惠宮

We were looking for another place, some historical rich family’s home.  We arrived to find it was closed for maintenance from the day before to the day after we leave.  What luck eh? As we were wandering back to the station, we spotted this temple at the end of the markets.  Wedged between the buildings

Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall 國立國父紀念館

Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall 國立國父紀念館.  Taiwan really was a change of pace, so many museums and galleries to see.  But in a sense, for a person who only vaguely knows of the history of China/Taiwan, they all look the same.  Every hall had statues of all the ‘founding fathers’ anyway!
