On the way back to the underground, a Confucian temple with cafe and gift-shop...
In memory of the former ROC President, Chiang Kai-shek, the national monument Memorial Hall stands in a park at the east end of Memorial Hall Square and is framed on the north and south by the National Theatre and Concert Hall.
Two sets of ceremonial white stairs (89 steps apparently representing Chiang's age at the time of his death), lead to the entrance to a large statue of Chiang Kai-shek in the main hall.
Last stop is Tienhou Temple, snuggled into the modern shopfronts. It was built in 1746 with funds donated by immigrant merchants from Zhangzhou and Quanzhou and again is busy with worshippers.
