6 P.M. NATIONAL CHIANG KAI-SHEK MEMORIAL HALL
Finish your tour with a brisk 15-minute walk west down Xinyi Road to the National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall. This monument to the dead autocrat (he ruled Taiwan from 1949 to his death in 1975), which opened in 1980 in a sprawling 25-hectare plaza, includes a grand concert hall at the other end of the square. It's best viewed at night, when it's illuminated by ground lights, and groups of middle-aged Taiwanese come to line dance to U.S. country-and-western songs on the plaza.
After a good rest and a break from eating, try Taiwan's famous pearl, or 'bubble' milk tea -- a shaved ice-and-tea confection served with tapioca balls and jumbo-size straws. The place to get it is Chun Shui Tang, the central-Taiwan store that invented it in late 1980s, and there's a branch in the ground floor of the National Concert Hall on the north side of the memorial plaza (the shop closes at 8:30 p.m.). A small glass costs $2.20; a large glass that's big enough for two costs $4.40.
下午6点：国立中正纪念堂
沿着信义路往西走15分钟，就到了国立中正纪念堂，这里也是我们的最后一站。这座纪念堂是为了纪念蒋介石这位已逝的台湾独裁者（他从1949年开始统治台湾，直到1975年去世）而兴建的，1980年对公众开放，加上广场另一端的大型音乐厅，占地共25公顷。最好的观景时间是在晚上，那时整个纪念堂由地灯照明，成群结队的台湾中年人会在广场上随着美国乡村和西部歌曲翩翩起舞。
养足精神之后，你应该去试试台湾著名的珍珠奶茶──刨冰和茶的混合物，里面还有粉圆，需要用大号的吸管饮用。喝珍珠奶茶的地方叫作“春水堂”。春水堂起源于台湾中部，二十世纪80年代末这家店发明了珍珠奶茶。在中正纪念堂广场北边的国家音乐厅底下，春水堂有一家分店（晚上8点半关门）。一小杯珍珠奶茶的价格是2.2美元，足够两人喝的大杯要花上4.4美元。
