I walked here from the Taipei Botanical Gardens. Such an impressive space and you can observe the changing of the guard every hour.

We walked here from the nearby Langshua Temple and the sheer size of this place blew us away straight away. The gardens surrounding the Memorial Building are really picturesque and there are fish, turtles and birds occupying the well kept ponds and parks. The building itself is very impressive and you can read all about why this Building was constructed. The first time we came was on Chinese New Year’s Eve and the indoor area was closed, so we revisited at a later and were able to appreciate the interior with the giant statue. Highly recommend coming here if in Taipei.

Beautiful and must see - the architecture and the like are amazing. Should definitely see even on a layover (can easily take their subway system to get there). Very peaceful and serene.

Cool experience, you must see changing of the guard. This is every hour from 9 am to 5pm. Pretty cool.plus they have a cool little gift shop with stuff you can purchase. They also have little movies you can pay to see.
Change of guess is on the 4th floor.

Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek was Taiwan's strongman. He never recovered the mainland, but most people were genuinely distressed at his passing. The enormous statue in the main hall still inspires awe. The changing of the military guard is worth seeing. There is also a museum beneath the Memorial Hall. T.he Memorial Hall is a sight you should not miss if you are in Taipei

not everyone does - it was tried, and under the current government it may be tried again, to turn this into less of a solemn, indeed glorifying monument for Marshall Chiang and the KMT government, as they are in the minority now, in spite of all their doubtless merits for Taiwan. But compared to my last visit, in 2017, somehow the place was back - well maintained, even with guards changing, and the performance buildings, the beautiful gardens with their little cafes and restaurants, and the grand show altogether, especially in the sun, are just magnificently successful and well worth the visit.

It is a good place to visit if you want to know about the first leader of Taiwan. The permanent exhibition is free and very well done. I highly recommend spending an hour here if you are in the city.

cool memorial hall, huge plaza that is beautifully designed with landscape and architecture. serves as a local meeting hub for some local groups, so always some fun activities. flanking on each side are two concert halls with performing arts events. the main memorial hall is quite huge!

This Memorial Hall commemorates the contribution Chiang Kai-shek made to Taiwan. The great hall contains an enormous statue showing the Generalissimo seated, dressed in traditional Chinese robes. The changing of the honour guard is worth seeing, Chiang is not universally admired today but his contribution to his country should be remembered. Entry is free.

Is this directly on the metro from the airport (and is it common sense how to get there)? Is it walkable from whatever station? About how long to visit the place?

I agree with the others. Didn't see any signs, but I wouldn't let my kid. It just seems to be a reverent place.

It is open 361 days a year, so you should be fine on most Mondays. Be aware that it is closed on Chinese New Year’s Eve and the first day of the Chinese New Year.
