History

Chiang Ching-kuo lies in state.

The Mausoleum building was originally known as the "Touliao guesthouse" and was constructed by RSEA Engineering and completed on July 17, 1966. The building's function was later changed to the presidential palace archives, and then to the Chiang family collection of information.

When

Chiang Ching-Kuo
died on January 13, 1988, preparations were made to bring his body here for interment on January 30. The name of the building was subsequently renamed to Daxi Mausoleum.

On January 13, 2001, the Taoyuan County Cultural Affairs Bureau announced the Mausoleum as a regional historic building. In 2006, the Taoyuan County government combined the Jiaobanshan villa,

Cihu Presidential Burial Place
building. The two places are now linked by a footpath.

In 2004, a request was made to move Chiang Ching-kuo's remains, along with those of his father, Chiang Kai-shek to Wuzhi Mountain Military Cemetery[1] for interment in newly built tombs there. However, political disputes held up the reinterment process.[2][3][4] As of 2016, the reinterment has not occurred.[5][needs update]
