National Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall

A lovely large square and a great place to admire some traditional architecture with the temple at the front. The water feature is kept clean and it’s a spacious area preventing it feeling too busy, and if you’re in the area you really should pass through.

Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall is a must-visit in Taipei. The architecture is stunning, and the spacious gardens provide a peaceful atmosphere. Inside, you can learn about Dr. Sun Yat-sen’s legacy through well-curated exhibits. The highlight is the hourly changing of the guard ceremony—precise and impressive. The location is convenient, near Taipei 101, making it a great stop on a city tour. Whether for history, culture, or just a relaxing walk, this place is worth visiting. Highly recommended!

Currently closed for renovation, but an iconic building in the Xinyi area, and a must see place when visiting Taipei. There is also an adjacent park with a large pond, bridge, and gazebo, that is quite beautiful. Pets are allowed, and this is one of the best places to take your dog for a walk in Taipei, or just take a stroll on a beautiful day. There is also a coffee shop adjacent, public restrooms, and nice views of Taipei 101.

The Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall is currently under renovation and not open to visitors, so Google Maps should update the status to “Closed.” While entry isn’t possible at this time, there are several statues outside where you can still pay your respects to Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the pioneer of modern China.

Closed until end of 2026, lovely from the outside but it was advertised as open on Google. I just submitted the edit to highlight this is closed for renovation until end of 2026.

Great photo spot for Taipei 101. 2025 New year countdown was packed with people enjoy fireworks. They even arrive early to get better photo spot. After finishing, huge crowd going back by MTR. Great control by the train management to get people in to the platform then train smoothly.

When we went it was closed but we could still take pictures. Very beautiful.

I remembered my father usually parked his car in the parking lots here before we went dining in the restaurants near this place. The clear view of Taipei 101 has always fascinated me, especially when you stand lakeside in the Zhongshan Park. Moreover, there were even street performers singing or dancing sometimes. This spot is one of the must go places around Taipei City for the travellers. Unfortunately, the Hall won’t be opening for a while.
