Jianshan Lake Monument Introduction
The Jian Mountain Lake Memorial is located in the Shimen District at Shimen Cave, approximately one kilometer away from the famous Qingshan Waterfall. During the Japanese occupation in the twelfth year of the Showa era (1937), the Japanese Navy's air force sent personnel to fight in China, passing over the Jian Mountain Lake area of Shimen District. Due to poor weather, one aircraft unfortunately crashed, resulting in the deaths of all seven officers on board. To commemorate these soldiers, the Japanese authorities erected a monument at the site of the crash, featuring a 12-meter-high stone tablet inscribed "The Place Where Naval Soldiers Died in Battle" and established a shrine for remembrance. Several cherry blossom trees have been planted around the site, and multiple small stone lanterns have been placed. Currently, there is a well-planned hiking trail, and many visitors come here for mountain climbing and enjoy the ocean views of the Shimen District on weekends.
