The Cihu Building is known for being the burial place of Chiang Kai-shek. It is also a place for people from around the world to pay respects to this great man.. The area includes front and Back Cihu. The lakeside scenery is fascinating. The weeping willow trees are just as beautiful as those in China’s southern areas. As the scenery of this place is similar to that of Fenghua in China’s Zhejiang -- the home town of Chiang Kai-shek -- he named this place Cihu in remembrance of his benevolent mother. He also built a summer residence there. He was buried in Cihu after his death in 1975.

In addition to paying respects to Chiang Kai-shek, the most important tourist attraction is the ceremony of the changing of the honor guards. The ceremony is alternately performed by tri-service honor guards. The hourly rifle drill at the changing of the guards is the great favorite performance for both domestic and foreign tourists, prompting a lot of camera flashes. As it was an off-limit zone in earlier times, the ecological environment of Cihu was protected. The pristine views around Cihu are still intact. Although the forests there always fill the air with a refreshing fragrance, it is in winter that the mountains are at their most beautiful.
