Ketagalan Boulevard, Central boulevard in Zhongzheng District, Taipei, Taiwan

The road extends 400 meters from the Presidential Office Building to the East Gate with five lanes in each direction.

Originally named Chieh-shou Road, the boulevard received its current name in 1996 to honor the Ketagalan indigenous people of the Taipei region.

The boulevard functions as a gathering place for public demonstrations and political events, with the 2004 presidential election protests lasting an entire week.

The road connects multiple landmarks including the Taipei Guest House, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and provides access to the 228 Peace Memorial Park.

In 1989, the boulevard witnessed a significant event when activist Chan I-hua performed self-immolation during a political demonstration.
