The monument can be divided into three main sections and has an area of approximately 434 square meters. It is currently the oldest monument in Taiwan related to the Japanese invasion. The monument was established after the Japanese Navy's 1895 campaign and originally bore the inscription "Meiji 28th Year Naval Joint Landing Corps Monument." It was constructed in 1924 (Taisho 13) on March 23 at a cost of over 1,000 yen, signed by the Port Commander Taniguchi and the Penghu County Magistrate Takashita. After World War II, following the Republic of China's takeover, the inscription was changed to the Taiwan Liberation Monument. After World War II and on the 34th year of the Republic, following Japan's defeat, the monument was renamed the "Victory of the War of Resistance Monument." [Recommended stay time] 0.5 hours
