Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Park
Pride of Taipei, the magnificent Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Park
is a walled complex built in memory of the former Taiwanese
President. It contains an impressive pyramid-shaped majestic white
monument to Chiang Kai-shek, capped with a blue-tiled roof, as well
as the National Concert Hall and National Theatre. All stand inside
a lovely park, fronted by a vast plaza where there are often folk
performances or other events being held. The Memorial is also the
main venue for Taipei's famed Lantern Festival, Shang Yuan, which
draws thousands of lantern-carrying revellers to mark the Chinese
New Year.

Language
Mandarin is the official language of Taiwan, but
Taiwanese is often spoken and English is generally
understood.
Money
Taiwan's currency is the New Taiwan Dollar (TWD), which is
divided into 100 cents. Foreign currencies and travellers cheques
(American Express, Citibank or Thomas Cook) can be exchanged at
government-designated banks and hotels. Receipts are given when
currency is exchanged, and must be presented in order to exchange
unused NT dollars before departure. Major credit cards such as
American Express, Master Card, Visa, and Diners Club are accepted.
Banks are open Monday to Friday. US dollars are the preferred
currency. ATMs are plentiful but not all accept international bank
cards.
