Taipei Taiwan



The National Chiang Kai- Shek Memorial Hall is a famous monument that was erected in memory of , former President of Republic of China. The Chiang Kai- Shek monument, surrounded by a park and a large square incorporating the National concert Hall and National Teater, stands within sight of the Republic of China's President Building in Taipei's Zhongzheng District.
Shi Lin (Shihlin) The Shi Lin district covers both banks of the Keelung River and spills into the surrounding mountains. Shi Lin is best known for Shihlin Night Market , Taipei's largest night market. North of the market is the peaceful Tian Mu area which features a large expatriate community and several of Taipei's international schools. The Chinese Culture and Movie Center and the world-renowned National Palace Museum are also located within this district.


Da Tong (Tatung) Da Tong District was once home to European merchants who settled to trade with the Taiwanese. Walk through its old lanes and you will find numerous tea companies, a few European-style buildings and several temples including the famous Confucius Temple and Bao An Temple . Perhaps the most popular attraction here is Di Hua Street , one of Taipei's main trading centers during the 1800s. Today, the street is still lined with traditional shops selling dried goods and herbal medicines.
