National
Palace Museum
|
The National Palace Museum, the
pride of Taiwan, ranks as one of the four best museums in the world, in
a class with the Louvre, the British Museum, and the Metropolitan Museum
of Art. The museum is built in traditional Chinese palace style with
white walls and green-tiled roofs. The museum holds the world's largest
collection of Chinese artifacts, around 700,000 items in all. Some of
the oldest artifacts in the collection are pieces of prehistoric pottery
over 5,000 years old. The vast majority of these art objects are from
the private collection of China's emperors. Because the museum only has
space to display around 15,000 pieces at any given time, the majority of
the treasures are kept well protected in air-conditioned vaults buried
deep in the mountainside. The displays are rotated once every three
months. In other words, around 60,000 pieces can be viewed in a year and
it would take nearly 12 years to see all collections.

Taipei
101
 |
Taipei 101 (also known as the
Taipei Financial Center) is a 101-floor landmark skyscraper located in
Taipei City and reaches 1,667 ft (508 m) high. Taipei 101, open to the
public on December 31, 2004, is currently the official world's tallest
building in the categories of highest structurally, highest roof, and
highest occupied floor. This multiuse steel-and-glass skyscraper echoes
a traditional Chinese pagoda with its soaring podium base, eight tiers
of eight stories (a number that is a homophone for prosperous growth in
Chinese), and narrow pinnacle tower and spire. Designing a building this
large presented unique challenges because Taiwan is subject to typhoons
and earthquakes. To counter movement, a tuned mass damper system has
been incorporated into the structure. The 800-metric ton (1,764,000
lbs), spherical steel mass is located on level 88 and will be visible
from the restaurant and observation decks. The system transfers the
energy from the building to the swinging sphere, providing a stabilizing
force. |
Chiang Kei-Shek Memorial Hall
Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall was
built in memory of late President Chiang Kai-shek. Its octagonal roof is
modeled after Tiantan in Beijing and is covered with blue glazed glass
tiles. The gleaming white marble walls and red flowerbeds in front of the
memorial make an exquisite combination, symbolizing the values of
independence, equality and universal love.
Yangmingshan
National Park and Mt.Yangming
Hot Springs
|
The
Yangmingshan National Park is located in the north of Taipei City.
During the Japanese occupation of Taiwan (1895-1945), Yangming Mountain
was called Tsaoshan (Grass Mountain) because it was covered with grass
and seldom visited. After the World War II, the area was renamed as Yang
Ming Shan in honor of the Ming Dynasty philosopher Wang Yang-ming
(1472-1529). The Yangmingshan National Park is the only national park in
Taiwan that has volcanic geography and hot springs. It is next to Shamao
Mountain and Chihsing Mountain, with Datun Mountain on the right and
Kuanyin Mountain in its front. The magnificent mountainous scenery and
comfortable weather have made the Yangmingshan National Park a perfect
summer resort. Mt. Yangming Hot Springs Area is separated into front and
rear mountain hot spring areas. The front mountain hot spring area is
open to the public, while the rear mountain area is a restricted area by
the Army. |
