We had a great look around the building, though we did not go into the exhibits (we heard they were great). Watched the elaborate changing of the guard ceremony that happens every hour on the hour. What tradition! The grounds around the hall were nice for a walk too. Would recommend!

Like watching the changing of the guards at Arlington cemetery - very efficient and mechanical - rather than the amateurish version in Santiago de Chile. Timings seem to vary - people mentioned 9am, but I saw it at 12 noon. Maybe every hour. Give yourself enough time to visit the free Chiang Kai-Shek museum downstairs and time to walk from...

The Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial and related museum are absolutely fascinating to anyone who has done his/her homework beforehand about Taiwan history. Good English translations of different exhibits.

It was under renovation when we were there. We were just outside and it was raining. Will go back there next time.

The tour guide whipped us in quite fast. It was interesting, but because I didn't really know much about Chiang Kai-Shek before I went it didn't mean much at the time.

Also, the outside view of the opera house from the top of the Memorial is also worth...

The Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall is one of the most famous monuments in Taipei. It is easily accessible via the MRT (Exit 5 leads directly to it). The visit entails a lot of walking since it is very big and you need to climb some stairs leading to it. We stayed for the changing of the guards, but it was...

Amazing memorial hall in park like gardens. The rushed visit let us down a bit, and we could have gained more from the guide, whose main aim was for us to get in, get photos and move on.
