Father of the Country--Taiwan Pt. 10

 No visit to Taiwan would be complete without paying respects at the tomb of Chiang Kai-Shek.  Exiled by the Communist takeover of mainland China, Kai-Shek preserved Chinese democracy by establishing his government on Taiwan.  There were growing pains, and conflicts with the Commies that continues today.  Kai-Shek is honored as we do Washongton and Lincoln.  Kai-Shek's tomb is part of a huge square.








From the inside.  And one of the guards, very still similar to the soldiers at Buckingham Palace.  The changing of the guard ceremony is quite something to experience, takes about 15 minutes.  I have a video, but it's too big a file for this blog.
