2/28 Memorial Peace Park

This urban park stands as a testament to the 228 Massacre, a significant event in Taiwan's history.

Established in 1908, it was initially known as Taihoku Park under Japanese rule. It reflects European park designs and was renamed in 1996, symbolizing remembrance of the tragic 2-28 Incident, which saw a violent uprising against the post-WWII government. The park hosts old trees, ponds, pavilions, and a museum at its southern end dedicated to the massacre.
