Scenic Spots

¡iMartyrs' Shrine¡j

Located behind the Grand Hotel, the scenic Martyrs' Shrine is backed by Cingshan and looks out to the Keelung River. The impressive main shrine building, built in 1969, is modeled after the Hall of Supreme Harmony of the Forbidden City in Beijing. The shrine rises from an expansive park-like setting in a ring of mountains, adding further to its majestic allure. Make sure not to miss the honor guard display performed hourly in front of the main gate.

¡iNational Palace Museum¡j

The National Palace Museum boasts the world's largest and most impressive collection of Chinese art and artifacts, dating back more than 7,000 years. The full collection comprises over 650,000 items, including calligraphy, paintings, jade, bronze, silk and curio pieces.
