Half Day Taipei City Tour

Morning or Afternoon Tour

• Presidential Office Building (pass by)
  
• Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall
  It is an impressive monument to a great Chinese leader. The majestic hall towers over 25 hectares of landscaped gardens, graceful pavilions, and ponds. A statue of late President Chiang looks out over the city from the main building. An elegant Ming-style arch at the main entrance is flanked by two classical-style buildings, the National Theater and the National Concert Hall. The square between the buildings is a popular gathering place during festive occasions.
• Martyrs’ Shrine
  It is an excellent example of classical Ming Dynasty architecture, dedicated to the fallen heroes of China’s wars. There is an hourly changing of the guard ceremony at the entrance which many people find interesting.
• National Palace Museum
  Taipei’s National Palace Museum houses the world’s largest collection of Chinese art treasure. Most of the 620,000 art objects were part of the Chinese imperial collection that was brought to Taiwan for safe-keeping. The collection is too large to be displayed at one time! While many popular pieces remain on permanent display, other items are rotated regularly, making each visit unique.
• Chinese Temples
  There are a lot of traditional Chinese Temples in Taipei City. Those places represented the centers of people’s religious activities. Meticulously designed and built, the faithful believers showed their respects to the Holy Gods, and lots of smoke from incense suffused within those temples.
• Handicraft Center
  It is a one-stop shopping place in Taipei for gift, jewelry, art, furniture and many other inexpensive mementos.
