After three nights in Taipei, we picked up a hire-car to tour the northern part of the island. Luckily, it has a satnav; less positive is that it operates in part on character recognition so you have to "draw" the chinese character and pick what the satnav guesses you might conceivably have meant from a list... we'll see!
Meanwhile, heading northwards, it's not too difficult to find the 1969 National Revolutionary Martyrs' Shrine, housing the spirit tablets of about 390,000 persons killed in various engagements and dedicated to ROC war dead.
At the gate stands an honour guard from various ROC military branches.
and then to the National Palace Museum (which is big so we spent virtually all day there)
Sadly no pics inside... and the sun was coming down when we arrived in Tamsui and found a room with a view of the Tamsui river
