Cihu

The spot is currently under renovation.

Cihu (慈湖) is known for being the final resting place of former President of the Republic of China, Mr. Chiang Kai-shek. The entire Cihu (慈湖) area is divided into ""Front Cihu (慈湖)"" and ""Back Cihu (慈湖),"" which are the main attractions here. In addition to the Cihu (慈湖) Memorial Sculpture Park, there are also group visits to the mausoleum available by reservation on specific holidays, as well as the fascinating changing of the guard ceremony performed by the military, featuring intricate rifle drills that attract visitors from both domestic and international locations.

The former is the official mausoleum of Mr. Chiang Kai-shek, known as the ""President Chiang Mausoleum."" The stream connecting Front Cihu (慈湖) and Back Cihu (慈湖) is surrounded by lush natural scenery, making it an ideal spot for a leisurely mountain route.

There are two nature trails in the park, namely the ""Touliao Ecological Trail"" and the ""Cihu (慈湖) Trail."" Walking along these trails, visitors will be greeted by the picturesque countryside and lake views, with the added bonus of being able to gaze at the only volcano in the Taoyuan area, Mount Caoling. The trail distances are not long, taking only about 20 minutes. Lastly, it is highly recommended to visit the Cihu (慈湖) Visitor Center first to gather travel information about the area. The center also features exhibitions and video introductions showcasing various artifacts from the Chiang era, providing visitors with a deeper understanding of this landmark!
