Hop on the red line (Tamsui line going south instead of north) from Taipei Main Station (TMS). It's the 2nd stop from TMS, great directions at where to exit to get to the memorial hall Lovely manicured gardens and clean toilet facilities in the grounds. More

it is still an impressive monument although since its name was changed to Liberty Square the big man (who is not interred there) has lost some of his importance. The honour guard is still exchanged every hour and is worth watching, the grounds in front of his mausoleum were occupied by the supermarkt chain carrefour for a commercial show. This... More

This sight is iconic for Taiwan. The Memorial is impressive and set within park surroundings. No trip to Taipei would be whole without visiting this sight. More

A beautiful square with the National Concert Hall, National Theatre & the Memorial Hall. You can walk inside the concert&theatre buildings which has even more beautiful architecture and details. A really nice time to stroll & take in some history. More

What is a visit to Taipei without a visit to this landmark monument? The large open square in front of the monument flanked by the National Theatre and National Concert Hall is really good for photos (especially with the front gate of the monument as the background). The change of guards parade on the hour is also worth looking forward... More

Highlight was the change of guards. Their precise movement was amazing. Like walking robots but they are infact, real flesh & blood. A good insight into a small piece of Taiwan history too. More

In form it is the Taiwan version of the Lincoln Memorial, but definitely commands awe and reverence. The complex is amazing and a must see is the changing of the guards every half hour. More
