Aimee's Adventures: June 20, 2013 - Chiang-Kai Shek Memorial Hall, Taipei day 3

We checked out of hotel after breakfast and drove Chiang-Kai-Shek Memorial complex. All of us were guessing how many steps there were. I guessed 84. After climbing up 84 steps, we reached the statue guarded by two guards. They weren't allowed to move during his time period. The guards were changed every hour and we watched the ceremony. As we were walking back to our car, we passed by a pond and fed the koi with some fish food from the vending machine. The biggest national concert hall and theater are in the same complex.

After our lunch at the concert hall, we stopped by my great grandma’s place again before leaving Taipei. We got there before the factory was closed, so my uncle gave us a tour and showed us how car oil filters were made. He also gave us some parts of the car filter to keep.

On our way home, we visited another old town, San Xia. We found a place that sells shaved ice. Again we ate our dessert before our meal. Since I love the mangoes here, I got mangoes on mine. We ended our day by visiting an old temple that was 250 years old. The temple was started by a professor who devoted his life and money into building the temple. The columns are very detailed. They are also blocked by fences so people cannot break the columns.
