 Cihu
Mausoleum
Today we��re in Cihu, Taoyuan the mausoleum of former
president Chiang Kai-shek.
To get to Cihu, you can take the Taiwan Tourist Shuttle
from Zhongli Station. The one day pass is just NT$100,
which you can get on the bus.
This is the temporary resting place of late president
Chiang Kai-shek, who said he wanted to be buried in
their hometown in China after he retakes China, so
this is where they lay in state.
Chiang Kai-shek really loved Cihu, he said it reminded
him of his hometown in China, and so decided to build
a residence here. The room his sarcophagus is placed
in is the main hall of the residence.
The lake area is about 8 acres and it��s quite a nice
place to walk around in. This entire place was off
limits to the public until just a few years ago. There��s
a secret about this place, and you can kind of tell
by the occasional sentry posts.
When Chiang and his army retreated to Taiwan, he vowed
that he would retake China, and Cihu was his secret
command center to do so. The US who funded Chiang
said he can wage war on China under the condition
that he uses the atomic bomb and be done with it as
quickly as possible to avoid WWIII, but Chiang was
unwilling to use the atomic bomb so he continued his
plans in secret. Eventually the chances of winning
became so small the project was cancelled.
When Chiang came in 1949, he placed Taiwan under martial
law.
This sculpture came from Kaohsiung City Hall. It was
in the process of being torn apart when someone said
��stop, let��s not completely destroy it. It is a part
of our history,�� so it ended up here. Cihu is a great
place to learn about the history of Taiwan. For me,
it reminds me to remember all the right and wrong
things I��ve done. You should come!
