🚶 How to Get to Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall (Taipei MRT Guide + Tips)

Getting to the National Dr. Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall is actually very easy—especially with Taipei’s efficient MRT system.

When we visited, we were coming from Taipei 101, and at first, I thought:

“Ah, it’s nearby… we can just walk.”

But don’t be deceived. 😅

On the map, it looks close, but Taipei blocks are long, and walking under the heat (or after a full day of sightseeing) can feel endless. By the time we arrived, we were already tired—and it was late, so the hall was closed.

Still, the area was peaceful and beautiful, even from the outside.

If you’re planning to visit, here are the best ways to get there:

---

🚆 By MRT (Best and Easiest Option)

The MRT is the simplest and most tourist-friendly way to reach Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall.

✅ Step-by-step:

1. Take the Taipei MRT Blue Line (Bannan Line)
2. Get off at Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall Station
3. Exit through Exit 4
4. Walk about 3–5 minutes to the memorial hall entrance

📍 Station Name: Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall Station (BL17)
🎭 The hall is located right beside the park, so it’s easy to spot.

💡 Tip: The MRT is especially helpful if you’re coming from Taipei Main Station, Ximending, or Taipei 101.

🚶 Walking from Taipei 101 (Not Recommended Unless You Have Time)

Yes, it’s walkable…

But after sightseeing all day, it feels farther than expected.

🚶 Estimated walking time: 15–25 minutes
(depending on your pace and traffic lights)

When we did it, we arrived already exhausted—and the hall was closed. So if you want to explore inside, it’s better to take the MRT instead.

💡 Reminder: Wear comfortable shoes if you plan to walk around Xinyi District.

🚖 By Taxi or Uber (Most Convenient)

If you’re traveling with seniors, kids, or simply want the easiest ride, taxis are safe and metered in Taipei.

🚌 By Bus (Budget-Friendly Option)

Several city buses pass through the memorial hall area, especially from:

• Taipei Main Station
• Xinyi Shopping District
• Songshan Area

🚌 Bus stops are nearby, but signs may be confusing for first-time visitors.

💡 MRT is still the easiest choice if you’re a tourist.

🌸 A Peaceful Stop in a Busy City

Even though we arrived too late to go inside, I still remember how calm the area felt.

Taipei can be fast and crowded—especially around Taipei 101—but the moment you step into the memorial park, everything slows down.

It truly feels like a quiet pause in the middle of the city.

Sometimes, travel isn’t always about seeing everything…

Sometimes it’s about finding small spaces that let you breathe.
