Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Memorial House

Free but the informations and installations could be improved. Or just open a tea house in the garden. The Memory of Sun Yat-sen deserves more.

The house is Japanese style with tatami flooring. You are required to take off your shoes before entering the house. I love the calligraphy by Dr Sun that reads 博愛 in one of the rooms. The garden is beautifully landscaped with a pond and pavilion. Hardly anyone here. Very quiet area.

Lovely little park, really cool Japanese house and a nice little exhibit about Dr. Sun. It's all free too.

Amazing oasis in the middle of the city. As a local I didn't even know about this place. Great chinese garden that's free and open to all. Easy access from taipei main station. You can visit the historical building where Sun Yat Den stayed but no photos inside are allowed. Bring bread to feed the huge carp and the turtles. Lovely park.

Small little park near the Taipei Main Station. It's worth visiting if you're passing by, although it is quite hot in the afternoon. The park was very well maintained and has a history to it. There is no entrance fee.

It’s a pretty small garden which we sort of walked into while strolling. It’s pretty clean and devoid of people. And it’s free to enter.

Good place to stroll around. It's like a mini park of sorts to rest your feet and visit the monument up close. There's no entrance fee.

great place to learn about china founding father. its interesting how many chinese cities have this memorial for sun.

A small quiet park with some history. I'm not sure how many people even put this spot on their list to check out in Taipei. The Sun Yat Sen Memorial House is a small Japanese style wooden house inside Yixian Park that is dedicated to the ROC founding father, Dr Sun. He stayed here for a short time during his visit to Taiwan after the 1911Revolution which overthrew the Qing Dynasty. It's a beautiful Japanese style garden park. Pass through the gate and see the pond filled with Koi fish, follow the paved path around the pond to the pavilion and onto the house. The house was once the Japanese hotel called Ume Yashiki or Plum House. The traditional wooden Japanese-style house was built in 1900 while Taiwan was still under the control of the Japanese empire. I'm not sure how this structure was a hotel since it consists of three large rooms. But the craftsmanship inside and out is amazing. There are pictures on the wall and some cases with Dr Sun memorabilia around the rooms. To enter the house you must leave your shoes at the door, slippers are available. And no photography inside. Allow 30 minutes for the house and park.

This is a really small park/memorial house. It is located close to the Taipei Main Station. It is free to go in. Lots of historical documents and pictures to see inside. Other than that, nothing too special. The garden reminds me of the Dr. Sun Yat-sen garden in Vancouver. Design and layout is pretty similar.

A really nice memorial to visit. You could spend a brief amount of time here, or several hours, depending on how detailed you would like to make your visit. You can learn a lot about this very revered man and the history of China and Taiwan. There is a MRT stop that is within pretty close walking distance. The memorial area is very large and spacious, and it's not that crowded (although the memorial statue inside can have lots of people around it).
