Chiang Kai Shek Residence

On a preparation day, 1 Feb 2011, we decided to go look at the Chiang Kai Shek Official Residence. It seemed a little cool, so we wore our jackets, but before the afternoon was over, we had removed them.

Near the entrance were some pretty flowers.

There are large gardens in front of the residence.

There was a variety of trees and foliage.

Fountains....

Interesting lanes...

Interesting designs...

trimmed trees...

plants and streams...

a gazebo here...

a fish there...

foliage creatures and...

the residence.

Not as magnificent as I might have imagined. And since it was the week of the Chinese New Year, it was closed whereas you can usually go in.
