National Palace Museum, Ximending, & Duck Head (✈️Travel ????????Taiwan Series Day 9)
Day 9 of the ✈️ Travel ???????? Taiwan Series. Be part of the journey:
(Timestamps are below.)
0:30 Is the Travel Taiwan Series worth it?

3:33 Heading to the National Palace Museum 國立故宮博物院
3:53 Jumping on the wrong bus...
4:22 Welcome to the National Palace Museum!
5:35 The challenge I made to myself: if I'm truly proud of the videos I did during my Travel Taiwan Series, and I do a video a day, then I will reward myself by returning to National Palace Museum and getting the scroll I was originally fascinated by the first time I came to Taiwan and, of course, still fascinated by till this day. It's called the The Wuyong Scroll Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains, Huang Kuang-wang, Yuan Dynasty.
I found it puzzling that none of the staff were able to translate any of the Chinese text that were on the scroll. They told me that it's a very old Chinese and that not even they can fully understand it, nonetheless translate it. If anyone knows what it says, please let me know!
6:26 Yes, I went right back to Zhengji Zhujianfan to get their awesome pork knuckle bowl! lol
7:15 A view of Ximen
7:32 Great place to have some Taiwanese bread, snacks, and a pork wrap! Very unique. Name of the place is 東北大餅衡陽店

Taiwan Presidential Office Building Tour (Taipei, Taiwan)
The Presidential Office Building / 總統府 / 中華民國總統府 / 中华民国总统府 houses the Office of the President of the Republic of China. The building, located in the Zhongzheng District in the national capital of Taipei, Taiwan, was designed by architect Uheiji Nagano (ja) during the period of Japanese rule of Taiwan (1895–1945). The structure originally housed the Office of the Governor-General of Taiwan. Damaged in Allied bombing during World War II, the building was restored after the war by Chen Yi, the Governor-General of Taiwan Province. It became the Presidential Office in 1950 after the Republic of China lost control of mainland China and relocated the nation's capital to Taipei at the end of the Chinese Civil War. At present, this Baroque-style building is a symbol of the ROC Government and a famous historical landmark in downtown Taipei.
The Presidential Office Building occupies the city block between Chongqing South Road and Bo'ai Road in downtown Taipei. It is designed in the shape of two squares stretching from Baoqing Road to Guiyang Street.
The 130 meter-wide facade faces east down multi-lane Ketagalan Boulevard. This reflects the concerns of its Japanese architects, who often oriented important structures toward the rising sun at the head of long avenues. (This feature may also be seen in Main Library of National Taiwan University.)
The building has ten entrances but only the front entrance and west gate are used for official functions. In the original design an ornate Baroque-style domed entrance hall greeted visiting dignitaries. This entrance hall was reconstructed with simpler interior features after destruction of the first hall in World War 2. The west gate, the formal rear entrance of the building, features a grand marble staircase and porch lined with Ionic and Corinthian pillars.
The two-part main building, six stories high, mainly houses government offices and maintenance services. The office wings feature balconies and long corridor that allow view of the sunlit North and South Gardens.
The 60-meter tower at the center of the building was the tallest structure in the Taipei Basin during Japanese rule. When the Nationalist regime took power, a platform was built at the top floor to enable martial flag-raising ceremonies.
The Presidential Office Building stands within walking distance of the Judicial Yuan Building, 228 Memorial Park, the National Taiwan Museum, the original hospital of the National Taiwan University, the original East Gate of the City of Taipei, the Chang Yung Fa Foundation Building (formerly Kuomintang Party Headquarters) and the National Theater and Concert Hall at Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall. A few blocks to the west is Taipei's popular Ximending shopping district with its historic cinema and Jhongshan Concert Hall. A few blocks to the north is Taipei Main Station and Shin Kong Life Tower.
Full open house days are once a month (usually on a Saturday - Check the website for a full schedule: Otherwise, the Presidential Office Building is partially open on weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. (Visitors should enter the building before 11:30 a.m.).

Taipei, Taiwan - National Theater and National Concert Hall HD (2017)
The National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall (Chinese: 中正紀念堂) is a national monument, landmark and tourist attraction erected in memory of Chiang Kai-shek, former President of the Republic of China. It is located in Zhongzheng District, Taipei, Taiwan.
The monument, surrounded by a park, stands at the east end of Liberty Square. The structure is framed on the north and south by the National Theater and National Concert Hall.
In February 2017 Taiwan's Ministry of Culture announced plans to transform the hall into a national center for “facing history, recognizing agony, and respecting human rights.” A corresponding de-emphasis of the Chiang personality cult is underway as proposals for transforming the hall are reviewed.
The square became Taipei's site of choice for mass gatherings as soon as it opened. The nature of many of those gatherings gave the site new public meanings. The hall and square became the hub of events in the 1980s and early 1990s that ushered Taiwan into its era of modern democracy. Of the many pro-democracy demonstrations that took place at the square, the most influential were the rallies of the Wild Lily student movement of 1990. The movement provided the impetus for the far-reaching political reforms of President Lee Teng-hui. These culminated in the first popular elections of national leaders in 1996.
The site's importance in the development of Taiwan's democracy led to the plaza's dedication as Liberty Square by President Chen Shui-bian in 2007.[2] Memorial Hall was also renamed in a dedication to democracy. The announcement of the new names were greeted with hostility by Kuomintang officials. The original dedication to Chiang was subsequently restored to the hall by President Ma Ying-jeou, while the name Liberty Square was affirmed by officials across political parties.
In 2017, on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the February 28 Incident and the 30th anniversary of the lifting of martial law, Taiwan's Ministry of Culture announced plans to transform the hall into a national center for “facing history, recognizing agony, and respecting human rights.” Scholars and experts were invited to form an advisory group to help plan the hall's transformation.
The Chinese inscription now over the main gate declares the plaza Liberty Square. The calligraphic style recalls that of Wang Xizhi in the East Jin Dynasty (see Chinese calligraphy). The style is noted for its sense of vitality, movement and freedom. The characters in the inscription are placed in left-to-right sequence to follow modern practice in Taiwan. The right-to-left order of ancient Chinese tradition had been adopted at the site previously.

Sunflower Movement leaders acquitted of charges relating to 2014 occupation of legislature
Three Sunflower Movement leaders and 18 others were acquitted today by the Taipei District Court of charges relating to obstructing official business and inciting others to commit crimes in 2014. The Sunflower Movement''s historic sit-in at the Legislative Yuan, lasting more than three weeks, was a student-led protest against a closed door trade deal with China. It was instrumental in reawakening the nation''s pro-independence sentiment.The three leaders of the Sunflower Movement, Lin Fei-fan, Chen Wei-ting and New Power Party legislator Huang Kuo-chang appeared together outside the Taipei District Court. A total of 22 people had been indicted for obstructing public business and inciting others to commit a crime during their Legislative Yuan sit-in protest in March 2014. The court acquitted them of these charges. Huang Kuo-changNew Power Party LegislatorThis has a high degree of significance for the highest constitutional considerations of civil disobedience, the meaning of taking action and its effects. The (Sunflower Movement''s) occupation of the Legislative Yuan began on March 18, 2014 when then-KMT legislator Chang Ching-chung declared that a review of a cross-strait deal liberalizing the service trade had been completed in 30 seconds. This sparked an outcry from students, who saw this as secretive black box legislative operations and occupied the legislature. This began the 24-day occupation from the protesters who became known as the Sunflower Movement. In fact, today''s ruling was not the only lawsuit sparked by the protests. The Ma administration charged 132 people with illegally entering a building and damaging property after students staged a similar occupation of Cabinet. The Tsai administration later dropped charges for 126 of them. Charges were also brought against Hung Chung-yen and three others who took to the web at the time to mobilize a large crowd to surround Zhongzheng First Police Precinct near the Legislature. They were sentenced to detention for violating the assembly and parade act, commutable with a fine. The ruling is being appealed. Lin Fei-fan Student Sunflower LeaderThrough manipulation from some specific media organizations, the occupation of Cabinet and the incident involving the Zhongzheng First Police Precinct has been demonized. If we are found not guilty, then they should be found not guilty. The Sunflower leader also called on the government to push for public supervision of cross-Strait agreements (a key demand of the Sunflower Movement) so as to create a safeguard (against the influence of Chinese business agreements.)

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Taipei (; Hokkien POJ: Tâi-pak), officially known as Taipei City, is the capital and a special municipality of the Republic of China. Sitting at the northern tip of the island, Taipei City is an enclave of the municipality of New Taipei City that sits about 25 km (16 mi) southwest of the northern port city Keelung. Most of the city is located in the Taipei Basin, an ancient lakebed. The basin is bounded by the relatively narrow valleys of the Keelung and Xindian rivers, which join to form the Tamsui River along the city's western border.The city proper is home to an estimated population of 2,704,810 (2015), forming the core part of the Taipei–Keelung metropolitan area, which includes the nearby cities of New Taipei and Keelung with a population of 7,047,559, the 40th most-populous urban area in the world—roughly one-third of Taiwanese citizens live in the metro district. The name Taipei can refer either to the whole metropolitan area or the city proper.
Taipei is the political, economic, educational, and cultural center of the Republic of China and one of the major hubs in East Asia. Considered to be a global city and rated as an Alpha City by GaWC, Taipei is part of a major high-tech industrial area. Railways, high-speed rail, highways, airports, and bus lines connect Taipei with all parts of the island. The city is served by two airports – Taipei Songshan and Taiwan Taoyuan.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

=======
Taipei (; Hokkien POJ: Tâi-pak), officially known as Taipei City, is the capital and a special municipality of Taiwan (officially the Republic of China, ROC). Sitting at the northern tip of the island, Taipei City is an enclave of the municipality of New Taipei City that sits about 25 km (16 mi) southwest of the northern port city Keelung. Most of the city is located in the Taipei Basin, an ancient lakebed. The basin is bounded by the relatively narrow valleys of the Keelung and Xindian rivers, which join to form the Tamsui River along the city's western border.The city proper is home to an estimated population of 2,704,810 (2015), forming the core part of the Taipei–Keelung metropolitan area, which includes the nearby cities of New Taipei and Keelung with a population of 7,047,559, the 40th most-populous urban area in the world—roughly one-third of Taiwanese citizens live in the metro district. The name Taipei can refer either to the whole metropolitan area or the city proper.
Taipei is the political, economic, educational, and cultural center of Taiwan and one of the major hubs in East Asia.
