Taipei Introduction Walking Tour (Self Guided), Taipei
Taipei is the political, economic, educational and cultural center of Taiwan, with a population of 2.5 million. The region of Taipei had been mainly inhabited by the Ketagalan tribe prior to the large influx of mainland Chinese immigrants in the 17th century.
Under the Qing Dynasty of China, Taipei was made the capital of Taiwan in 1887 when the island was incorporated into a Chinese province. Following the first Sino-Japanese War of 1895, Taiwan was annexed by Japan. The Japanese colonized the island until 1945, when it was returned to China after the World War II.
Taipei is a home to various architectural and cultural landmarks, such as Taipei 101, Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, Longshan Temple, Presidential Office Building, Taipei Guest House, Ximending and several night markets dispersed throughout the city.
Liberty Square is the political and cultural center of the city. At its east end stands the National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, which is flanked by the National Concert Hall on the north and the National Theater on the south. The square is a place for public gatherings, as well as a home to civic parks.
Presidential Office Building and Taipei Guest House are the two historical buildings constructed during the Japanese colonial period. Designed by Japanese architects, both buildings feature a Baroque style that clearly takes inspiration from the classical European architecture.
No visit to Taipei is complete without a trip to one of its night markets. At the Ximending Night Market you will find hundreds of stalls selling clothes, accessories, makeup products, and traditional Taiwanese snacks. The latter are particularly tempting while watching an array of shows by the local street performers – an experience not to be forgotten for a long time!

1) Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall (must see)
The Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall is a well-known national monument and tourist attraction situated in remembrance of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, the former President of the Republic of China. It is located on the eastern side of Taipei's Liberty Square and is flanked by the National Theater and National Concert Hall to the north and south, respectively.
This memorial hall is characterized by its white color and four-sided structure, featuring a blue octagonal roof, which symbolically represents the number eight. In Asian culture, the number eight is traditionally associated with abundance and good fortune. To reach the main entrance, there are two sets of white stairs, each comprising 89 steps, symbolizing Chiang's age at the time of his passing.
Inside the memorial, the ground level accommodates a library and a museum dedicated to documenting Chiang Kai-shek's life and career. Additionally, there are exhibits that delve into Taiwan's history and development. The upper level houses the main hall, where a prominent statue of Chiang Kai-shek is situated. Periodically, a guard mounting ceremony takes place within this hall.
Why You Should Visit:
The architecture is incredibly unique and views of the square are excellent from top of the Hall's stairs.
The Hall is also flanked by the National Theater & Concert Hall, which are good places to stop for lunch, tea, or gift shopping.
Tip:
The Military Honor Guard changes every hour, on the hour, from 9am to 5pm. Get there 10-15 mins early – it often draws a big crowd. Afterward, you may browse the garden downstairs or museum with its multiple exhibits.
Key tip for best viewing of the changing of the guard ceremony: If facing the statue, stand on the very right side closest to the elevator entrance. There you will see – and be able to take photos of – the new guards coming out, the entire ceremony unobstructed, and then the old guards exiting.

On the square's northern side stands the National Concert Hall, while the National Theater graces its southern side. The square is surrounded by a park, and the entire site is enclosed by a wall.
Liberty Square frequently hosts large gatherings in Taiwan and is often used for grand events, including red-carpet ceremonies where the Taiwanese president welcomes foreign dignitaries. The square sees a continuous influx of crowds throughout the year, drawn by outdoor festivals and concerts. The Taipei Lantern Festival is a regular occurrence on the square. On many days, you can observe students, athletes, and soldiers at the square, engaging in drills and dance routines. The National Theater and Concert Hall, located adjacent to the square, collectively host over 800 events each year and serve as iconic backdrops for square events.

These parks are often used for quieter forms of public activities, such as games of Go, taekwondo, Tai Chi, and other martial arts practices. Additionally, the grounds are utilized for holiday marching band performances, drum and bugle corps concerts, honor guard drill shows, and traditional Chinese dances.

The Taipei Guest House is a historic structure located on Ketagalan Boulevard in the Zhongzheng District of Taipei. It is owned by the Government of the Republic of China and serves as a place for hosting state guests and hosting celebratory events. This architectural masterpiece was designed by Japanese architects Dōgo Fukuda and Ichiro Nomura and was constructed between 1899 and 1901. It was later renovated by Matsunosuke Moriyama in 1911.
During the Japanese colonial period, from its construction until 1920, the Taipei Guest House served as the residence of the Governor-General of Taiwan. It was strategically positioned approximately 100 meters away from the Office of the Governor-General of Taiwan, which is now known as the Presidential Building. It was a notable destination for imperial figures and political leaders. Even Emperor Showa (Crown Prince Hirohito) visited and stayed at this place when he visited Taiwan.
After Taiwan was transferred to the Republic of China, the Treaty of Taipei was signed here in 1952 by ROC Minister of Foreign Affairs George Yeh and Japanese Minister of Foreign Affairs Isao Kawada.
The building itself features a distinctive concave shape with a Mansard-style roof and tall Roman pillars, reminiscent of French Second Empire palace architecture.
