About Zhongshan District
What are the main landmarks in Zhongshan District?
The Taipei Fine Arts Museum anchors Zhongshan District. Its galleries face the park lawns, and a short walk away stand MoCA Taipei, the Taiwan New Cultural Movement Memorial Hall, and the restored courtyards of the Lin An Tai Historical House and Museum. The National Revolutionary Martyrs' Shrine holds the eastern edge.
Smaller houses fill the rest.
What is the history of Zhongshan District?
Zhongshan District carries Taipei's colonial and civic past. The Lin An Tai Historical House and Museum preserves a Qing-era merchant family compound, while the Taiwan New Cultural Movement Memorial Hall recalls the reform politics of the early twentieth century within a former police station. Change came in waves.
The Immaculate Conception Cathedral and the National Revolutionary Martyrs' Shrine mark later chapters.
Where is Zhongshan District?
Zhongshan District spreads north of central Taipei, a subtropical quarter of tree-lined avenues running from Taipei Main Station up toward the Taipei Fine Arts Museum and the riverside parks.
