This hall was established in memory of Dr. Hu Shih, an early advocate of liberalism and an academic known for his "boldness in hypothesis and care in corroboration." A former ambassador to the United States and head of Peking University in China, Dr. Hu returned to Taiwan to serve as president of Academia Sinica. The Hu Shih Memorial Hall was established on December 10, 1962, in the same year that Dr. Hu passed away. It is located at the Nangang residence where Dr. Hu lived during his tenure at Academia Sinica.
The Hu Shih Memorial Hall is divided into three areas, including Dr. Hu's former residence, a display room, and Dr. Hu's tomb. The surrounding grounds were turned into Hu Shih Park in 1974.
