The majority of these places and things are named after Chiang Chung-cheng, the preferred given name of Chiang Kai-shek.

- Chungcheng

The airport was originally planned under the name Taoyuan International Airport but was later changed to Chiang Kai-shek International Airport in memory of former President Chiang Kai-shek.

- Taoyuan International Airport

In Chinese, its former name was literally "Chung-Cheng (Zhongzheng) International Airport", where Chung-Cheng is the legal given name that Chiang Kai-shek had used since the 1910s.

- Taoyuan International Airport

Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport was formerly known as (officially) "Chiang Kai-shek International Airport" or (directly translated) "Chung-cheng International Airport".

- Chungcheng

Many public places in Taiwan are named Chungcheng after Chiang.

- Chiang Kai-shek

For many years passengers arriving at the Chiang Kai-shek International Airport were greeted by signs in Chinese welcoming them to the "Chung Cheng International Airport".

- Chiang Kai-shek
