CKS Residential Park - Taipei, Taiwan - 9th March 2008

By: icitaiwan

The weather was sunny today, so we took the car and drove to Taipei (again). This time we went to a special park.
This park was in the earlier years the residence of Chiang Kai-Shek.

Chiang Kai-Shek was the first president of the Republic of China (=Taiwan) and he died in 1975. Later they have remodeled the residence where he has lived for a long time into a park that can be visited by everybody. The park is actually the original garden of his residence, so I have accomplished another mission, because this is a famous garden/park in Taiwan

There was a big rose garden with all kind of roses

I also stretched my legs, but didn't get too far away since I don't speak any Chinese and I didn't want to get lost

There were so many trees in this garden / park. I was thinking about climbing this tree to complete another mission...
