About Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall 中正紀念堂
Memorial Park
The Memorial Park is open daily from 05:00 to 24:00. Most tourists will take photos in the outdoor park first. There are many nice photo opportunities around here. There are walking trails in the park, and you can also feed the fish in the pond. If you go there in the middle of the summer you will feel hot and humid.
Military Honor Guard Ceremony
The Military Honor Guard Ceremony at always attracts a large number of tourists to visit, and the exhibitions and activities at Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall are also quite popular. You can arrive 10 minutes before the Military Honor Guard Ceremony. You can take some photos and choose a good spot to watch. There is a large free museum below the Memorial Hall itself, some of which is in English. If you have time, you can also visit the free exhibition hall next to it.
From 2024-07-15, the Military Honor Guard Ceremony will be moved outdoors to Democracy Avenue in front of the Memorial Hall.
Secret Cherry Blossom Paradise
In winter, this is Taipei’s secret cherry blossom paradise! Visitors can arrive by just taking the MRT! The flowering period starts around mid-February every year, and there are Yaezakura, Oyozakura, Okanzakura, Shuzenji Kanzakura, and Kawazuzakura. The cherry blossoms along the entire trail are in full bloom, which is perfect for a walk. The cherry blossoms are beautiful at night, and it is very quiet to walk around. The square is brightly lit, which is suitable for night runners to relax in a quiet atmosphere. It feels different to see it in the morning and at night.

The Best Time to Visit
If you go there during the summer, it will be very hot and humid. There are no shade trees or facilities in the square and you can easily get sunburned. I suggest around 8am or 5pm is the best time to visit in the summer. In other seasons, there is no time limit, but you should avoid going on rainy days.
