Taipei, Taiwan - National Theater and National Concert Hall HD (2017)
The National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall (Chinese: 中正紀念堂) is a national monument, landmark and tourist attraction erected in memory of Chiang Kai-shek, former President of the Republic of China. It is located in Zhongzheng District, Taipei, Taiwan.
The monument, surrounded by a park, stands at the east end of Liberty Square. The structure is framed on the north and south by the National Theater and National Concert Hall.
In February 2017 Taiwan's Ministry of Culture announced plans to transform the hall into a national center for “facing history, recognizing agony, and respecting human rights.” A corresponding de-emphasis of the Chiang personality cult is underway as proposals for transforming the hall are reviewed.
The square became Taipei's site of choice for mass gatherings as soon as it opened. The nature of many of those gatherings gave the site new public meanings. The hall and square became the hub of events in the 1980s and early 1990s that ushered Taiwan into its era of modern democracy. Of the many pro-democracy demonstrations that took place at the square, the most influential were the rallies of the Wild Lily student movement of 1990. The movement provided the impetus for the far-reaching political reforms of President Lee Teng-hui. These culminated in the first popular elections of national leaders in 1996.
The site's importance in the development of Taiwan's democracy led to the plaza's dedication as Liberty Square by President Chen Shui-bian in 2007.[2] Memorial Hall was also renamed in a dedication to democracy. The announcement of the new names were greeted with hostility by Kuomintang officials. The original dedication to Chiang was subsequently restored to the hall by President Ma Ying-jeou, while the name Liberty Square was affirmed by officials across political parties.
In 2017, on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the February 28 Incident and the 30th anniversary of the lifting of martial law, Taiwan's Ministry of Culture announced plans to transform the hall into a national center for “facing history, recognizing agony, and respecting human rights.” Scholars and experts were invited to form an advisory group to help plan the hall's transformation.
The Chinese inscription now over the main gate declares the plaza Liberty Square. The calligraphic style recalls that of Wang Xizhi in the East Jin Dynasty (see Chinese calligraphy). The style is noted for its sense of vitality, movement and freedom. The characters in the inscription are placed in left-to-right sequence to follow modern practice in Taiwan. The right-to-left order of ancient Chinese tradition had been adopted at the site previously.

Performing at Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall - Taipei (Taiwan)
The National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall (traditional Chinese: 中正紀念堂; simplified Chinese: 中正纪念堂) is a Taiwanese national monument, landmark and tourist attraction erected in memory of Chiang Kai-shek, former President of the Republic of China. It is located in Zhongzheng District, Taipei, Taiwan.
The monument, surrounded by a park, stands at the east end of Memorial Hall Square. The structure is framed on the north and south by the National Theater and National Concert Hall.
The Memorial Hall is white with four sides. The roof is blue and octagonal, a shape that picks up the symbolism of the number eight, a number traditionally associated in Asia with abundance and good fortune. Two sets of white stairs, each with 89 steps to represent Chiang's age at the time of his death, lead to the main entrance. The ground level of the memorial houses a library and museum documenting Chiang Kai-shek's life and career and exhibits related to Republic of China-era Chinese history, and Taiwan's history and development. The upper level contains the main hall, in which a large statue of Chiang Kai-shek is located, and where a guard mounting ceremony takes place in regular intervals.

In the middle of Taipei is a mind boggling memorial that’ll make you feel the size of an ant. The democratic nation of Taiwan has a complicated history that continues to shape the action of today. On this episode we’ll take a look at this Taipei’s Enormous Dictator Memorial.
The National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall was built in memory of Chiang Kai-shek, former President of the Republic of China. This landmark, located in the Zhongzheng District of Taipei, Taiwan will leave in you awe as your eyes first take in the sight. The building and ground space this national monument occupies is enormous. Upon entering through the main gate, immediately to your left and right are two massive buildings. The National Theater and National Concert Hall are the huge orange roofed buildings with the memorial hall being the taller white building with a blue roof at the end of a long walkway.
The site sprawls across 59 acres or 240,000 square meters of land. The memorial hall itself is 76 meters or 249 feet tall with that construction starting in 1976 and completing in 1980. The two sets of white stairs leading up to the building’s opening have exactly 89 steps which represent Chiang Kai-shek’s age when he passed. The doors to the memorial hall are outrageous to say the least, these doors are 52 feet or 16 meters tall as weigh as much as 11 african elephants.
Inside the main chamber honour guards stand fixed in position for 1 hour at a time before switching with another guard. A ceremony has the multiple honour guards walking rigidly, spinning their guns among other things as they hand off the position in the hall. There is also a second entrance into the Memorial Hall at ground level that has some of Chiang’s possessions on display like a calligraphy, uniforms and 2 bulletproof cadillacs. I guess that was his car of choice. If that isn’t enough action for you there is a flag lowering ceremony at 5:00pm every day.
While you might think this landmark is in the outskirts of town, it’s actually smack dab right in the middle of town. It’s a relaxing place to get away from the busy streets of Taipei, with that said you won’t be the only one there though, there are plenty of tourists scurrying around.
The park surrounding The National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall was renamed in 2007 to Liberty Park in honour of Taiwan's transfer to becoming a democratic nation. Chiang Kai-shek was a leader of the Republic of China and an influential member of the KMT or Kuomintang which makes it so ironic that the main entrance, called Liberty Gate, leads to the communist leader’s memorial. Debate continues off and on whether the dictator’s bronze statue and merchandise sold should be removed from the site and the memorial’s name be changed completely.
If you want to learn more about the Kuomintang I talk more about their actions in Taiwan in one of our other videos “The Most Beautiful Subway Station”. So be sure to check that out.
Whether you care about the history of this place or not, if you are ever in Taipei, you really need to stop off to see this place. The sheer scale of the building is beyond impressive. So along with the long stroll between buildings, ceremonies and selfies, there are immaculate gardens with ponds on either sides of the path. These ponds are home to turtles, carp, frogs and kingfisher. So there is plenty to see here.

Zhongshan Hall / 中山堂, Taipei / 臺北 /台北 / 타이페이
Zhongshan Hall / 中山堂 is a historical building which originally functioned as the Taipei (Taihoku) City Public Auditorium (public hall). It is located at 98 Yanping South Road in the Ximending neighborhood of the Zhongzheng District, Taipei, Taiwan. In 1992, it was recognized by the government as a historic site.
As a tribute to mark the ascension of the Japanese Emperor Showa in 1928, the Japanese government in Taiwan dismantled the Qing dynasty government office in Taipeh (Taipei) and began the plan to erect the Taihoku City Public Auditorium (臺北公會堂? Taihoku Kōkaidō). Construction began on November 23, 1932 and completed on November 26, 1936. Ide Kaoru, the main architect serving as Chief Engineer in Taiwan under the Japanese government, used the full cost of 980,000 Yen and 94,500 workers.
The four-story steel structure of the building was designed to be fire-resistant and to withstand severe earthquakes and typhoons. The original building was faced in light green tile to make it less visible to aerial bombers. The windows are adorned with classical designs in a Spanish Islamic style.[1] With 44,179 square feet (4,104.4 m2) for the ground floor, the total area of the City Public Auditorium was 113,750 square feet (10,568 m2), making it the fourth largest city Public Auditorium in Japan at that time. It was smaller than only the City Public Halls of Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya.
The hall has several auditoriums currently used for arts performances such as chamber and orchestral music, traditional Chinese music, voice/choir, opera, dance, ceremonies, and exhibits.
- Zhongzheng Auditorium: This Grand Meeting Hall was the largest indoor meeting venue at the time, seating over 2,000 people since it was created on December 27, 1936. After World War II, it was the only concert hall in Taipei. Until Zhongshan Hall in Yang-Ming Shan was completed in 1993, the National Assembly leased this hall. It is historic as Chiang Kai-Shek announced he would take office again and held his inaugural ceremony here.
- Guangfu Auditorium - The Grand Ballroom: Guangfu Auditorium is a two-story high rise hall with Islamic design and holds 500 people seated or 1,000 people unseated. This auditorium is historic as on October 25, 1945 it was the venue for the surrender ceremony of the Taiwan District of China warzone. The Japan and Taiwan governments signed the peace treaty here and the surrender of Japan was accepted here as well.
- Fortress Auditorium: In addition to indoor meeting areas, Zhongshan Hall was designed with a spacious plaza for outdoor activities. Speakers can stand on the second floor east balcony when addressing the audience on the plaza. Chiang Kai-Shek made four inaugural speeches here.

Taiwan’s indigenous youth musical groups win acclaim at international festivals
Two musical groups formed of indigenous children have helped put Taiwan on the map this past week. The Chin-Ai String Orchestra from Nantou attended the Summa Cum Laude Festival in Vienna, and won first place in the string competition. Meanwhile, Pingtung''s Puzangalan Choir traveled to Italy to compete in the Musica Eterna Roma International Choir Festival and Competition, also winning gold.The enchanting voices of the Puzangalan Choir resounded through the halls of the Church of the Twelve Holy Apostles in Rome. The young choristers come from a village in Pingtung, with most of the members belonging to the Paiwan tribe who are known for their proficiency with sliding notes and polyphonic singing.Chen Lai-fuDeputy Choir DirectorThey performed so well this year because last year when we were in Hungary and the year before that when we were in Germany, we saw and learned from so many foreign choirs which helped us improve.The members of Nantou’s Chin-Ai String Orchestra come from Ren’ai township’s Alang sasi village. They won first place in the string orchestra category at the Summa Cum Laude Festival in Vienna this year. Chang Chiu-niangChin Ai Elementary School PrincipalThe judges felt life in the music. In this area, we’ve always been in touch with nature.In order to travel to Austria and spread the sound of Taiwan around the world, the two educators who founded the Chin-ai String Orchestra led students to fundraise through concerts and jumble sales of craft items.

香港小交響樂團將於11月首度在臺灣獻演，分別於臺北及高雄舉行兩場音樂會，並且為「香港週2016」參與節目之一。為隆重其事，香港小交響樂團音樂總監葉詠詩特邀臺灣二胡明星演奏家王瀅絜攜手合作，演奏由香港作曲家陳慶恩為胡琴及樂團所寫的新作《月魄》，融會中西音樂風格，結合港臺兩地出色的藝術家，突破地域及古典音樂界限。此外，樂團亦會攜同香港傑出鋼琴家李嘉齡出訪，一同演繹法國作曲家拉威爾的G大調鋼琴協奏曲。
音樂會節目還包括蕭斯達高維契別出心裁的第九交響曲。音樂會將於11月19日及20日分別在臺北市中山堂中正廳及高雄大東文化藝術中心演藝廳舉行。
