It is situated on the Danshui River, almost at the northern tip of the country, about 25 km southwest of Keelung, which is its port on the Pacific Ocean. Another coastal city, Danshui, is about 20 km northwest at the river’s mouth on the Taiwan Strait. The National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall is a famous monument that was erected in memory of Chiang Kai-shek, former President of the Republic of China. The National Taiwan Museum is the oldest museum in Taiwan. The National Palace Museum is an art gallery and museum built around a permanent collection centered on ancient Chinese artifacts. It should not be confused with the Palace Museum in Beijing (which it is named after). Both institutions trace their origins to the same institution. The Taipei Fine Arts Museum was established in December 24, 1983. It is also the first modern art museum. Interesting far east tourist destination. Enjoy great food, nice art, cool architecture, different music and culture. Check interesting travel deals on Taipei or write your comments on this travel blog.
