Taiwan sights

Longshan Temple
One of the most beautiful man-made sights, according to reviews, is the country's oldest temple, the Lunshan Temple, located in the historic part of Taipei. It was built in the mid-18th century by the first Chinese settlers and has survived numerous
ordeals by wars and the elements. Today, Lunshan is one of the main centers of Buddhism in the country. The temple includes 3 ornate halls, and the entrance is adorned with an exquisite artificial waterfall.

Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall
It is believed to be the second most important landmark in the country. The monument, erected in memory of former president Chiang Kai-shek, is located at the eastern end of Memorial Square. Particularly noteworthy is the changing of the guard ceremony at the memorial, which takes place here every hour. The complex is surrounded by a beautiful park and flanked by picturesque ponds.

Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall
In Taiwan, Sun Yat-sen, known as the founder of the People's Republic of China, is a highly revered figure. That's why a memorial hall was erected in his honor in the 1970s near the capital's main skyscraper. Inside there are a memorial hall, a lecture hall, an exhibition hall, and a large library. A beautiful park with a clear lake surrounds the memorial complex.

Jinmen Archipelago
There is a complex of 12 islands in the Taiwan Strait, over 150 square kilometers in area. Once upon a time, the Jinmen Islands were the site of a military struggle between Taiwan and China. Today, the main island of the archipelago, Jinmen Island of the same name, is known for its historical past and houses a host of sites of historical and architectural significance: traditional settlements, temples dedicated to ancestors, monuments, forts, farmlands and other places of interest - all here are of particular tourist interest.

Taipei 101 Skyscraper
The Taipei 101 Skyscraper is the capital's landmark and symbol. Here there is a huge concentration of stores, restaurants and entertainment venues.
