Oasis Resort Introduction
Green Island Human Rights Culture Park covers an area of approximately 32 hectares, featuring sites such as Jiangjun Rock, Human Rights Memorial Park, Oasis Mountain Villa, Zhuangjing Camp (New Life Guidance Institute), Green Island Vocational Training Institute, and Swallow Cave, all of which have significant historical meaning in the context of human rights development. Oasis Mountain Villa, officially known as "Ministry of National Defense Green Island Reform Prison," originated from the "Taiyuan Incident" that occurred on February 8, 1970. At that time, the National Government constructed a high-walled prison to the west of the "New Life Guidance Institute" on Green Island, which is now the Oasis Mountain Villa. Subsequently, intellectual prisoners from Taiyuan Prison and various military prisons were transferred here for unified management, engaging in reform education and ideological conversion, effectively becoming a concentration camp for victims of human rights abuses and political events. With the lifting of martial law by the National Government in 1987, the Oasis Mountain Villa was abandoned. Oasis Mountain Villa, surrounded by towering walls, is a typical closed prison, with the walls adorned with various patriotic slogans such as "Firmly Anti-Communist," "Endless Sea of Suffering," "Do Not Forget in Ju," "Turning Back is the Shore," and "Exterminate Communism and Restore the Nation." The main structure of the prison consists of cells on the first and second floors, with a hexagonal internal layout; however, the people of Green Island commonly refer to it as "Bagua Tower," because when viewed from the old mountain path overlooking the Oasis Mountain Villa, it resembles a Bagua (the eight trigrams) pattern.
