The Grand Hotel





The first week we were here in Taiwan President and Sister Horner took us to see the Grand Hotel in Taipei; built for Madame Chiang, the wife of Chiang Kai-Shek, for visiting dignitaries.  She wanted something to impress the visitors, and impressive it is with its traditional Chinese Architecture.  In the center of the front lobby is an enormous beautiful live orchid plant that blooms year around.



This is a real live Orchid Plant at least 6 feet tall and 5 feet wide.
