Chiayi Park Introduction
Chaiyi - Chiayi Century Park! Chiayi Century Park covers an area of approximately 268,000 square meters, featuring ancient trees, pavilions, artificial hills, fish ponds, and winding paths that utilize natural landscapes, making it an elegant retreat. The park includes historical sites such as the Historical Museum, the Sun Shooting Tower, the Confucius Temple, the memorial for Fu Kang-an, and the earthquake memorial, making it an ideal place for relaxation and recreation. Chiayi Century Park holds rich and rare cultural treasures that display the characteristics of multiple ethnic groups and dynasties, making it worthwhile to explore and appreciate. Additionally, the forestry and agriculture experimental stations located on the northeastern side of the park are home to various tropical plants, providing ample shade and a refreshing breeze, and are also worth a visit. History Trivia: The site was established in the 43rd year of the Meiji era (1910). Over the past four hundred years, Taiwan has experienced power transitions among indigenous peoples, the Dutch, the Zheng family, the Qing Dynasty, the Japanese, and the Nationalist government. Cholo (the ancient name for Chiayi) is strategically located between north and south and has been directly influenced by diverse factors, leaving behind many historical relics, such as the indigenous (Plains Indigenous) altar site, the fields established by the Dutch, the stele inscribed by Emperor Qianlong in both Manchu and Chinese, the large cannons from the Jiaqing period, the first earthquake memorial in Taiwan, annexed facilities of shrines during the Japanese colonial period, the steam locomotive made in the United States in the early 19th century for Alishan, and the monument for fallen soldiers of the Jiangshan battle after the Nationalist government moved to Taiwan, all of which are scattered throughout Chiayi Park.
