I went to the Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall.

From the train station, you can take a taxi to Chiang Kai Shek for only $100 NT.

This is located in downtown of Taipei. It's majestic architectural design is fully based on the beauty of Chinese culture.

From wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiang_Kai-shek)

Chiang Kai-shek (October 31, 1887 & April 5, 1975) was a Chinese military and political leader who assumed the leadership of the Kuomintang (KMT) after the 1925 death of Sun Yat-sen. He led the national government of the Republic of China (ROC) from 1928 to 1975. He began his military education at the Baoding Military Academy, in 1906, attended the Military State Academy in Japan in 1907. Chiang Kai-shek served in the Imperial Japanese Army from 1909 to 1911. He commanded the Northern Expedition to unify China against the warlords and emerged victorious in 1928 as the overall leader of the Republic of China. Chiang led China in the Second Sino-Japanese War, during which Chiang's stature within China weakened, but his international prominence grew. During the Chinese Civil War (1927&1950), Chiang attempted to eradicate the Chinese Communists, but ultimately failed, forcing his government to retreat to Taiwan, where he continued serving as the President of the Republic of China and Director-General of the KMT for the remainder of his life.
