1895 Baguashan Anti-Japanese Resistance History Museum Introduction
To commemorate the fierce battles of resistance by the Taiwanese people against the Japanese army during the "Battle of Bagua Mountain" in 1895, the Changhua County Government has created a new recreational theme for the Bagua Mountain Buddha Scenic Area, centered around the concept of a war history site. Through small space exhibitions, the memory of the historical battles at Bagua Mountain is awakened. Utilizing the landscape of the park and repurposing unused spaces like the long-closed air raid shelters, the exhibition hall provides explanations of the First Sino-Japanese War, the Taiwan Expedition, and the Battle of Bagua Mountain through display boards and multimedia presentations. The unique spatial experience within the tunnels enhances visitors' feelings of the tension and oppression of warfare, enriching their on-site experience. The public can enter the air raid shelters to feel the atmosphere of seeking refuge during conflict and experience the nervous tension of the Japanese army crossing the river in the quiet night. This encourages reflection on the meaning and consequences of war. The exhibition hall is located behind the Changhua County Library.
