Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall

This memorial hall was dedicated to the ‘Father of the Republic of China’, Dr. Sun Yat-sen. It hosts a number of events and serves as an important landmark.

The Sun yat-sen Memorial Hall was opened in 1972, on his 100th birthday, to celebrate the achievements and philosophies of the man commonly referred to as the ‘Father of the Republic of China’. Upon entering, you will come across a huge statue of Sun Yet-san, which has a ceremonial change of guards every hour. The building is not just a simple memorial hall, it serves many purposes and has many sections dedicated to them, such as the exhibition centre, a performance hall, a multimedia theatre, an audio visual centre, a lecture hall and also a massive library. The building actually hosts several important art and culture events throughout the year, such as the Golden Bell Awards and the Golden Horse Awards. There is an art gallery as well on the 2nd floor of the building, displaying works of many Taiwanese and foreign artists. The parks around the main building are frequented by locals looking for an outdoor break during the weekends.
