National Revolutionary Martyrs' Shrine
National Revolutionary Martyrs' Shrine

The National Revolutionary Martyrs' Shrine (Chinese: 國民革命忠烈祠; pinyin: Guómín Gémìng Zhōngliècí) is a shrine in Zhongshan District, Taipei, Taiwan, dedicated to the war dead of the Republic of China. Built on Chingshan Mountain and overseeing the Keelung River in Taipei's Zhongshan District in 1969, the Martyrs' Shrine recalls the architecture of the Hall of Supreme Harmony in Beijing's Forbidden City. The structure houses the spirit tablets of about 390,000 persons killed, among other engagements, during the Xinhai Revolution, Northern Expedition, Second Sino-Japanese War, Chinese Civil War, and the First and Second Taiwan Strait Crises. A changing of the honor guard from the various branches of the Republic of China Military, similar to the rituals at the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall and Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, take place at the shrine. The Martyrs' Shrine was the site of the funeral of Chiang Ching-kuo in 1988. On March 29 (Youth Day, commemorating the Huanghuagang Uprising) and September 3 (Armed Forces Day) of every year the President of the Republic of China leads the heads of the five Yuans (branches of government) to pay their respects to the martyrs by bowing and offering incense. Similar shrines are located in each locality in Taiwan, and similar ceremonies are led by county magistrates and city mayors. Although the Martyrs' Shrine is located in Taiwan, most of the soldiers were born in mainland China. Taiwan was ruled by Japan throughout World War II, and about 200,000 Taiwanese who lived under Japanese rule served in the Japanese Imperial Army.

Dajia Riverside Park
Dajia Riverside Park

The Dajia Riverside Park (Chinese: 大佳河濱公園; pinyin: Dàjiā Hébīn Gōngyuán) is a park located in Zhongshan District, Taipei, Taiwan. Located between Zhongshan Bridge and Dazhi Bridge in Zhongshan District, Dajia Riverside Park is a metropolis-type greening park developed and constructed by the government. With a large area, it is a large expanse of vast grassland that enters the park. People can also look out at the Miramar Ferris wheel. There is a large fountain with a diameter of 125 meters and central water column as high as 75 meters, and 80 sets of colorful underwater lights. It uses the visual changes of the water level to show its rhythmic characteristics. The fountain sprays water for half an hour at the hour. Near the entrance of No. 8 Water Gate, there is a square image with the shape of the Keelung River curved and straightened, lined with the rolling background of mountains and a floor inlaid with sculptures of different fishes, which symbolizes the renovation hardships of the Keelung River Bank. The northern bank of the Keelung River completed the greening landscape improvement project in February 2010. There are also sports parks, sports facilities such as basketball, five tennis courts, badminton courts, and cricket grounds, as well as several kilometers of bicycle paths around the park to roam along the Keelung River (bicycle rental is available at the entrance to the park). There were plenty of parking lots nearby to facilitate tourists driving by themselves. Due to the wide space, parking, and environment, Dajia Riverside Park regularly holds various large-scale activities in addition to many sporting events during the holiday seasons.On May 28, 2009, the Summer Deaflympics Carnival was held locally. Starting from March 18, 2010, Dajia Riverside Park was temporarily closed for large-scale renovation work as one of the venues of the Taipei International Flower Expo 2010. It was completed on the eve of the Flower Expo on September 20, 2010 and large fireworks were held. The New Year’s Eve Party for the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Republic of China was also held here on the evening of December 31, 2010.
