The hall opened in 1972 to commemorate Dr. Sun Yat-sen, who led the revolution that toppled the Qing Dynasty. He then founded the Republic of China and is honored in Taiwan as an important statesman.
The main hall houses a large bronze statue of the founding father, where visitors often pause and take photographs. The plaza in front of the building serves as a meeting point for residents who practice Tai Chi in the morning or stroll in the afternoon.
Guided tours, multimedia presentations, and educational events take place regularly in the exhibition center, performance hall, and lecture rooms. The site is well connected to public transport and easy to reach on foot.
A changing of the guard takes place hourly at the main entrance, where soldiers display precise movements in traditional military uniform. The ceremony regularly draws spectators who gather to watch the disciplined choreography.
