The National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall is a national monument, landmark and tourist attraction erected in memory of Chiang Kai-shek, former President of the Republic of China. It is located in Zhongzhen District, Taipei, Taiwan.
It is a place many foreigners visit, not
just to learn about the history but to see the impressive architecture
and work put into building this extraordinary monument. The monument, surrounded by park, stands at the east end of Liberty Square. The structure is framed on the north and south by the National Theater and National Concert Hall.
In February 2017 Taiwan's Ministry of Culture announced plans to transform the hall into a national center for "facing history, recognizing agony, and respecting human rights". A corresponding de-emphasis of the Chiang personality cult is underway as proposals for transforming the hall are reviewed.
