Back in the day on 13th April 2014. I plan to visit the list of places that I have been creating before coming to Taipei. Since today is sunday, the day I can move freely not tied by work. Here we go the list of places that I visited today.
1. Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall
You can use MRT and alight at Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall Station, an go to Exit 5. There are four unique building in this Memorial Hall, here is the big entrance.
Ah, for women I think you shouldn’t use heels if you plan to explore the city. The ancient building have a really wide place, and you have to walk, especially for Indonesian people who rarely walk far. And I think you should bring water or food, cause there are no food stall here. Don’t forget to bring you umbrella or hat, cause it’s really hot here.
Ok, let’s go to the next building. There are twins building in the middle of this memorial hall. As you can see in below picture.
It’s really far from the entrance. You can see the twins building.
Next is the main building of this memorial hall. Here we go ~
Inside this building you can see the Chiang Kai Shek statue.
There are some attraction too from the soldier inside this building, but unfortunately I didn’t record it. :(
After I walking around in this memorial hall for a while, time to go to the next place.
2. 2/28 Peace Park
This place only one station away from Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall Station. You can alight at NTU Hospital station and go to Exit 1. This park is built to commemorate the incident on 28 February 1947 that killed civilians around 10.000 - 30.000 peoples. (may they rest in peace)
This is the entrance of 2/28 peace park.
As you can see, here is the monument of this 2/28 Peace Park.
This park has a beautiful garden, you can brings some food with you and have a nice rest here. When I go to this place, I seen some people have a practice for chinese drama in this place, cause they have a beauty chinese building here. I really like the ancient chinese building. ^_^
3. Martyr’s Shrine
This is the third place that I visit today. I made the list of the place based on the mrt line here so I can have an easy travel. When you go to the Martyr’s Shrine you can board MRT train and alight at Yuanshan Station. Use exit 1, cross road to soccer stadium side and walk to Zhongshan N Rd Sec 3 to board bus Red 2, 21, 208, 247 and 287 (northbound traffic). Bus fare: NT$15
Here is the main entrance of Martyr Shrine. The gate is rather similar with Chiang Kai Shek gate, but they have a different structure. I always adore the historical places and buildings that’s way when I go somewhere I will always visit they historical sites.
This is the main building of this shrine. They have a lot people today, maybe because this is sunday.
In this shrine, the soldier have some attraction too. Lucky I took a picture of it.
Go….go….go….
After I finish watch the attraction, I continue my exploration here. Each side of this shrine have a twins building, you can’t visit this building because they only allowed the staff inside. (sorry for a bad picture)
Each side of this shrine have a twins pagoda too.
At first when you look on the main building of this shrine, the looks small outside, but it’s really bigger inside. Inside the shrine they have 3 separate part, one in the middle and two for each sides. The middle one is bigger than the other two.
Inside the main part of this shrine, I don’t who rest here because I didn’t understand the chinese language.
Here is one of the two separate building. This is the left one.
Inside these building rest a hundred or more soldier that have a title in the past. Maybe if in Indonesia, this is like the tomb of heroes in Kalibata.
In chinese building, they always have an aisle that connects to back yard or garden. Each side have an aisle that surround the main part of the shrine.
Back Garden.
The ceiling looks beautiful.
After I am satisfied to look around and take a picture everywhere in this shrine, I decided to go to the last place.
4. National Palace Museum
The Martyr’s Shrine and National Palace Museum are quite near to each other and should be visited consecutively to avoid unnecessary travelling. Bus 213 serves the direct link between Martyr’s Shrine and National Palace Museum. Bus frequency varies from 20 to 60 mins. But because I am really tired today, I use taxi to go to this place.
There are many stairs here, even though not so many if you compare with the King’s Tomb Imogiri. But because I have a lot walking today, this stairs is really a challenge to me. My sister already give up to explore this place, but I really curious to explore this museum.
There are so many people that comes to this place, because this place is one of the main attraction that was scheduled by travel agent in Taipei.
Oh no !!! More stairs ?! T_T
Finally, here is the view from the highest place in this museum. As you can see, it’s really far from the main gate.
This closed window reminds me of the story romeo and juliet.
Cause it’s already late, I decided to go back to hotel. Let’s meet again next time.
