Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall (Taipei)

The National Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall is located in Xinyi District, Taipei, Republic of China (ROC, Taiwan).

It includes gardens, decorative historical walls, and an exhibition and performance area surrounding Lake Cui (Chinese: 翠湖; pinyin: Cuì Hú), also known as Emerald Pond.

The design plan by architect Wang Da-hong was selected in a public contest one year later, and modified under the instruction of Chiang, to emphasize Chinese architectural characteristics.

Originally, the Memorial Hall primarily functioned as a place to display the historical relics of Sun's life and the Xinhai Revolution.

Initially affiliated with the city government of Taipei, the Memorial Hall became part of the Ministry of Education, together with the Chung-Shan Building in Yangmingshan, in 1986.
