The Daxi Mausoleum, also known as the Touliu Mausoleum, is located in Fuan Village, Daxi Town, Taoyuan County, Taiwan. It is the resting place of the remains of Chiang Ching-kuo, the sixth and seventh President of the Republic of China. Originally built as the Touliu Guesthouse in 1962 (the 51st year of the Republic of China), it was initially used to store important presidential documents and archives. After the President passed away in 1988 (the 77th year of the Republic of China), his remains were interred here that same year, and the site was renamed the Daxi Mausoleum.
