Taipei’s Famous Public Square 🛕✨
Liberty Square is home to The National Theater & Concert Hall and The Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial. Located in Zhongzeng district, the square has been the main gathering spot since 1970. At that time, martial one party rule prevailed in Taiwan. The memorial became an attraction after the death of Chiang Kai-Shek who relocated to Taiwan after the Chinese civil war. The National Theater and Concert Hall is among the first facilities for modern art performance to be established in Asia. Each year, international or local artists are known to host events at the hall.
I arrived there in the late afternoon and unexpectedly witnessed the flag-lowering ceremony which started at about 5pm. Liberty Square is huge and gets busy in the afternoon. It’s such a nice and well-maintained place. A must visit! The Hall was closed, but I could walk up the stairs of The Memorial to have a look around.
🔵Access to Liberty square is free.
How to go ➡️ Take the MRT 🚇(Songshan-Xindian line OR Tamsui-Xinyi line)to Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall station.The square is a 5 mins walk from the station.

The Tranquil Majesty of the Night - Strolling Through Taipei's Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall
Taipei's night has a unique charm, especially at the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall. When night falls, the solemn memorial hall of the day transforms into a dreamy symphony of light and shadow. Strolling through the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall at night not only allows one to feel the cultural atmosphere of Taipei but also deeply appreciate the beauty of the city's blend of history and modernity.
Under the illumination of the lights, the blue and white walls of the memorial hall appear particularly dazzling at night. The blue glazed tiles on the top of the hall sparkle like stars in the night sky, emitting a mysterious glow. As you arrive at the plaza, the brightly lit National Theater and National Concert Hall on both sides are magnificent, making you feel as if you are in a palace of art where classical and modern elements merge.
The steps in front of the memorial hall quietly extend into the depths of the building. The sparse visitors at night add a touch of tranquility to the place. As you step onto the stairs and look up at the bronze statue of Chiang Kai-shek at the top, it appears solemn yet friendly under the soft lights. At this moment, the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall seems to open its arms, quietly waiting for each visitor, soothing hearts with its silent stories.
While strolling through the plaza of the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, you can occasionally hear music, either from street performances or the whispers of tourists. On such a night, there is no need for a busy schedule; just slow down and quietly enjoy the peace of the city in this plaza. For photography enthusiasts, the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall at night is an excellent spot for capturing the perfect shot. The perfect combination of lights and architecture makes every photo full of historical depth.
Finally, why not sit on a bench at the edge of the plaza, quietly gazing at the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall under the night sky, letting your thoughts drift with the night breeze. The memorial hall carries not only memories of history but also a piece of pure land in the hearts of Taipei citizens. Such a night, such a Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, makes one fall in love with this story-filled city of Taipei.

Liberty Square in Taipei
Around 7:30 in the morning, there aren't many people in the square, it's very quiet🤫, with a few elderly people exercising at the entrance of the concert hall.
Dusk around 4 o'clock is the best shooting time, and it's also the busiest time here. Because 5 o'clock is the last changing of the guard ceremony, and 5:10 is the flag lowering. Despite the simplicity of the ceremony, there are still tourists who come to watch. After 6 o'clock, as the crowd gradually leaves, the square slowly becomes quiet again, and then it gets dark. Only two or three groups of young boys and girls spontaneously rehearse street dance in the light at the entrance of the grand theater.
