My Personal Experience: I went to Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall this year April 22, 2019, together with my sister. We went there to see the most famous landmark with tourist in Taiwan! Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall is popular spot because of Instagram feeds it gets from people it's like you never been to Taiwan if you don't pave a visit since most of your friends went here:)
Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall
The most prominent historical landmark in Taiwan, the CKS Memorial Hall was erected in honor and memory of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, the former President of the Republic of China, and was opened in 1980 as part of a national park and gathering area. The octagon-shaped white building rises 76 meters and is covered with blue tiles and red accents, echoing the flag of the Republic of China. The eight sides represent the Chinese cultural symbolism of the number eight which is traditionally associated with fortune and wealth. The two sets of 89 steps represent Chiang's age of death and lead up to main hall housing a large bronze statue of Chiang protected by military personnel which change hourly. The name of the square is officially Liberty Square, as seen above the front gate, however name change was politically motivated and most people still in practice refers to the entire complex as CKS Memorial Hall:0
