The Cihu Presidential Burial Place, or Cihu Mausoleum is the temporary resting place of President Chiang Kai-shek. It is located in Taiwan Province, Republic of China. When Chiang Kai-shek died in 1975, he was never buried in the traditional Chinese fashion but entombed in a black marble sarcophagus since he expressed the wish to be eventually buried in his native Fenghua in Zhejiang province once the Kuomintang (KMT) recovered mainland China from the Communists.
