Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall
Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, Public monument in Xinyi District, Taipei, Taiwan
Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall is a public monument in Xinyi District, Taipei, combining Chinese architectural elements with a central hall nearly 30 meters high. The complex spans roughly 29,500 square meters and includes exhibition rooms, a library, and performance spaces beneath a curved palace-style roof.
President Chiang Kai-shek commissioned architect Wang Da-hong in 1965 to design this memorial for Dr. Sun Yat-sen, founder of the Republic of China. Construction was completed in 1972 to mark the 106th birthday of the revolutionary whose ideas shaped modern Chinese history.
The building houses rotating exhibitions on Republican history while the surrounding halls host concerts and theater performances. Visitors often see tai chi practitioners in the adjacent park, starting their movements before sunrise.
The memorial sits directly at Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall Station on the Taipei Metro Blue Line and opens daily from 9 AM to 6 PM. Visitors should plan two to three hours for exploring the exhibitions and library, with the guard ceremony taking place on the hour.
Guards perform an hourly ceremonial change in the main hall, their precise movements drawing numerous spectators. The memorial library collects over 300,000 books on the Chinese Republican period, including rare original documents from the early decades of the 20th century.
