It is a great post and I bet you had such an amazing experience whilst your visit in Taiwan. Welcome back. :) To see the guards are not a new thing for me as I live in the UK and I have been to London several times. I am always fascinated by them. They must have a hard life. I really like the Martyr's Shrine in your post. It reminds me to the Hero's square in Budapest which is the capital City of Hungary where I come from. Have you been to Hungary? If not I recommend to visit Budapest in the Summer. It is a beautiful City. Anyway see the Hero's square here.
That looks amazing! I will have to check it out!
