DAY ONE: Sightseeing in Taipei!

 

Today, we toured the Grand Hotel, National Palace Museum, Shihlin Official Residence (of Chiang Kai-shek) and the Martyr's Shrine (which is dedicated to the fallen heroes of the Chinese revoluion and the war against Japan, 330,000 in all).  Here's a short clip of the changing of the guard, held like clockwork on the hour.
