🚇 How to Get to Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall (Taipei MRT Guide + Tips)


Getting to the Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall is one of the easiest—and most rewarding—things you can do in Taipei.

This landmark is not only iconic, but it’s also extremely accessible thanks to Taiwan’s clean, organized, and tourist-friendly MRT system.

Whether you’re a first-time visitor or returning traveler, this is a must-see stop.
