Oasis Resort Introduction
Green Island Human Rights Culture Park covers an area of approximately 32 hectares, encompassing features such as General Rock, the Human Rights Memorial Park, Oasis Villa, Zhuangjing Camp (Rehabilitation Center), Green Island Skills Training Center, and Swallow Cave, all of significant historical importance related to human rights development. The official name of Oasis Villa is "Ministry of National Defense Green Island Detention Prison," originally built following the "Taiyuan Incident" that occurred on February 8, 1970. At that time, the Nationalist government constructed a walled prison on the west side of the "Rehabilitation Center" in Green Island, which is now known as Oasis Villa. Over time, political prisoners from Taiyuan Prison and various military prisons were transferred here for unified management, undergoing reform education and ideological transformation, thus becoming a concentration camp for victims of human rights persecution and political events. In 1987, with the lifting of martial law by the Nationalist government, Oasis Villa was abandoned. Surrounded by imposing high walls, Oasis Villa is a typical closed prison, with walls adorned with various patriotic slogans such as "Firmly Anti-Communist," "The Sea of Suffering is Boundless," "Do Not Forget at Ju," "Turning Back is the Shore," "Exterminate Communism and Restore the Nation," among others. The main building of the prison consists of cells with two floors, and its internal structure is hexagonal. However, the locals commonly refer to it as the Bagua Building, as from the ancient mountain path on Green Island, it appears to resemble a Bagua diagram.
