Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, Memorial monument in Taipei, Taiwan
The white marble memorial hall rises 76 meters with an octagonal roof covered in blue tiles, reflecting the colors of Taiwan's national flag.
The memorial, completed in 1980, honors Chiang Kai-shek through exhibitions documenting his leadership and influence on Taiwan's development as an independent nation.
Each stairway contains exactly 89 steps, corresponding to Chiang Kai-shek's age at death, while the octagonal shape represents prosperity in Asian architecture.
The memorial opens daily with hourly guard change ceremonies, featuring military personnel performing precise movements in front of the bronze statue.
The central hall houses a bronze statue of Chiang Kai-shek, illuminated by natural light streaming through the elevated ceiling structure.
