OVERVIEW

See the landmarks that define Taiwan’s robust capital of Taipei City and stop to explore the most significant ones, including the Chang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall. Dedicated to the former president of the Republic of China, this national monument holds a collection of historical relics from his early family life through his presidency. You will also browse the interior of the Grand Hotel, a 14-story palace-like oasis overlooking the Keelung River that has hosted royalty, dignitaries and a U.S. president. Commentary will describe how Taiwan is governed as you pass the Presidential Office Building, which was constructed during the Japanese colonial period, which ended with World War II. Before heading to Taoyuan International Airport, you will also pass towering Taipei 101, once the world’s tallest building. It resembles a giant bamboo stalk, which was the intention of the architects as bamboo symbolizes strong, rapid growth much like the city of Taipei.
