 The Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall was established to commemorate the ex-president of Taiwan, Chiang Kai-shek. It first opened on April 5, 1980, the fifth anniversary of Chiang Kai-shek’s death. The Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Park covers a total area of 250,000 square meters. It includes many traditional Chinese-style buildings. It is also the only structure in Taiwan that imitates the scale and style of the Chinese emperor’s tomb. The beauty of the interior garden is beyond description. With various shapes of man-made ponds, waterfalls, and arched bridges, you will surely enjoy the aesthetics of this traditional Chinese garden. The garden’s Yunhan pond and Guanghua pond have the meanings of “being homesick” and “return to Mainland China” respectively. The Gate of Liberty Square (originally named the Gate of Great Centrality and Perfect Uprightness) uses the most supreme form of the Chinese traditional arched gateway structures: five entrances, six columns, and 11 roofs. This scale of arched gateway has only been used for past Chinese emperors’ tombs. It is also known as the god’s path. The path from the arched gateway to the main monument was called the Road of Reverence; now it’s called the Road of Democracy. This is the focal structure of the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall Park. |
