I've been to Taipei again . We left this afternoon to visit the "CKS Memorial Hall", another landmark in Taipei.
First we passed the presidential house
The CKS square is flanked on both sides by the National Concert Hall and the National Theater. We were lucky today, because there was a performance on the square, showing some aborigional dances
This is my with Andrea and Amber
The CKS Memorial Hall was built in 1980 to honour the first president of Taiwan, Chiang Kai-sek. The building is 70 meters high and the white and blue colors of the building, and the red color of the surrounding flowers represent the colors of the Taiwanese flag.
At the top of the stairs is a large vault containing a bronze statue of Chiang Kai-sek. The vault is under guard during daytime.
This picture shows the view from the top of the CKS Memorial Hall over the square, showings the entrance, and the two theaters.
This picture shows the (now) second largest building in Taipei.
We drank "bubble tea" on our way back, This is a local drink that becomes popular in more and more countries. It's milk tea with little sticky, black, gummy tapioca balls....yummy!!!
I'll show you a bit of Nankan tomorrow .
