About National Dr. Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall

The National Dr. Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall in Taipei commemorates Sun Yat-sen, the founding father of the Republic of China. The government began planning it in 1964, and President Chiang Kai-shek presided over the foundation-laying ceremony in 1965. Architect Wang Da-hung's design was chosen and later modified to add elements of Chinese architecture; the main construction was completed and inaugurated on 16 May 1972. Since 2012 the hall has come under the Ministry of Culture, and today it serves as a multifunctional educational and cultural centre.

What's inside

The hall is 30.4 metres high and 100 metres long and wide. Fifty terrazzo columns along the surrounding corridors support a yellow-tiled roof whose upturned corners are meant to resemble a soaring eagle. The building stands in the centre of grounds of about 100,000 square metres, surrounded by gardens, planting and a plaza. Taipei City Government listed it as a city-designated historic site on 3 May 2019.

Season and crowds

The hall itself has been closed since 26 February 2024 for renovation works and is not open to visitors while the works continue; the surrounding Chung Shan cultural park stays open as normal. The flag is raised at 06:30 and lowered at 17:30 each day. On the main plaza, the mist and fountain show at the reflecting pool runs six times a day, every two hours from 07:30 to 17:30, for about ten minutes each time.

What to watch out for

The park around the memorial hall is meant for pedestrians, and the hall's own visitor FAQs set a few rules for it. For safety reasons roller-blading is prohibited and visitors are asked not to ride bicycles in the park. Because the memorial hall lies within an aviation safety zone, flying kites is not allowed either. Remember too that the hall building itself is closed for renovation, so a visit is currently limited to the park and plaza.
