Zhongzheng Memorial Hall in Ta Zhongzheng Memorial Hall in Taipei China.
- From: x123456
-
Description:
With a vast area of one hundred and fifty six thousand square metres, Zhongzheng Memorial Hall which was constructed between 1912 and 1949 , surrounded by Zhongshan South Road, Aiguo East Road and Xinyi Road is featured with the styles of Chinese classic gardens. It’s painted blue and white, which symbolize freedom and equality.
Surrounded by dense trees and flowers waving in the wind, Zhongzheng Memorial Hall is a very high building around which environment is very good and also there is not much noise. It looks very solemn, with an exhibition room at the ground floor where the cultural relics of Chiang Kai-shek are showed to visitors and on the top floor where there is a bronze statue of his beside which two of guards stand guard and change shifts every two hours. It has become one of the important tourist attractions.
Zhongzheng Memorial Hall is where I visited for the first time in Taipei. It’s quite near to my hotel. It’s only two or three minutes walk. Out of the hotel, I could see its blue dome. The building which looks like Temple of Heaven and also like Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is painted blue and white. We all know that the covering area is broad and it’s so extensive that it’s incredible. The buildings around it are shorter, but we could have a bird's-eye view of landscapes around, standing on those buildings. The main gate is at Freedom Square where there are the National Music Hall and Opera House.
what is interesting is that the square looks a little bit like Wuyi Square in a mainland city. On that day, I run into a group of school students came to visit Freedom Square. As I was ready to take a photo of it, I heard from the distance a cheer from them. They looks a bit younger and are probably at the age between fifteen and seventeen. My tour in Taipei ended with visiting Zhongzheng Memorial Hall and Freedom Square.

Ancient Shanxi Province. Ancient Shanxi Province.
- From: x123456
-
Description:
Most of ancient Chinese architectures are located in Shanxi Province where there are seventy percent of old buildings with simple but elegant styles which were all built in Tang, Ming and Qing Dynasties. Last time, it’s really a meaningful experience of the culture of ancient Chinese buildings. What’s more, Another seventy percent of the buildings are situated in the southeast of Shanxi. It was a nice day in the morning. We went to the our first destination Hongfu Temple by car. It’s said that an old man watched the temple with a few children in Jing Dynasty. Now it’s has been protected by the county as a historical site.
In spring, it’s very dry for less rainfall in Shanxi. The hillside beside the road was desolate. Seeing a little bit further, I found some of green leaves grew on the tree. Our motorcade got off the beltway to an unsurfaced narrow road where our cars bumped for a few minutes, with dust stirred up behind, and beside which are loess slopes.Hongfu Temple is situated in a hidden alley. After three minutes’bumping on the way, a more than ten meters high and very wide loess wall came into our sight. Despite the dilapidated scene, the loess plateau looks very magnificent against our car BMW.
We entered the temple across the steps, where everything looked desolate, with a abandoned hall on the left side and a half-length statue standing on the hall. At the moment when we entered, we saw its paint faded and column inclined to a side. However, the sculptures on the ridge still show the art of the architectures in Jing Dynasty.
On the other hand, we left the temple and went along a meandering road to Taixin County to visit Foguang Temple.
It’s said that Foguang Temple was found many times later after a couple visited Shanxi for the fourth time. Because of that, the temple has occupied an important position in the architectural history of China. It’s the biggest wooden building built in the Tang Dynasty.
As the sun sets and wind blows, we were standing beside a stone engraved perhaps in Tang Dynasty with inscriptions on it and began reading what’s written on it, feeling as if time had gone back to the past. I felt a sense of admiration while reading.
