1895 Paochueh Mountain Anti-Japanese Preservation Historical Museum Introduction
In memory of the fierce battles fought by the people of Taiwan during the 1895 "Battle of Bagua Mountain" against the Japanese army, the Changhua County Government has created a new recreational theme at the Bagua Mountain Buddha Scenic Area based on the concept of a war heritage park. This initiative aims to awaken memories of the historical battles at Bagua Mountain through small exhibitions. Utilizing the landscape and repurposing long-closed air raid shelters, the exhibition hall is divided into sections that explain the First Sino-Japanese War, the Wushe Incident, and the Battle of Bagua Mountain, presented through panels and audiovisual displays. The unique spatial feeling within the tunnels allows visitors to experience the tension and oppression of war, enhancing the immersive experience. People can enter the air raid shelter to feel the ambience of seeking refuge during wartime and can experience the tension as the Japanese army crossed the river under the cover of night. This encourages deep reflection on the meaning and consequences of war. The exhibition hall is located behind the "Changhua County Library."
