National Chiang, Kai-Shek Memorial Hall (國立中正紀念堂)

This is the place of Chian kai Shek Memorial Hall. This place is huge, a lot of tourists from China will come here. The memorial hall is located in the center of Taipei. CKS Memorial Hall is to commemorate the memory of the great leader.
I like this place, because there's a lot of things to see. This is the archway entrance or "Dajhong Jhihjheng". It is 470 meters distant from the axis of the Main Hall. Viewing the Hall from the Central Arch, visitors cannot help but be awed by its grandeur.

There are two side entrances, Dajhong Gate and Dasiao Gate. The Dasiao Gate is located on AiGuo E. Road while the Dajhong Gate is on XinYi Road.
During Chinese New year, we could see a lot of traditional flowers with nice decorations.
A week after Chinese New Year, we will celebrate the lantern festival. There's a lot of lanterns designs by so many people. Each of style is so different.
This is Mr. Chia Kai Shek. This is his stature here, but his body is somewhere in Taiwan.
