Peng Yuan (Tai Yang Company Affiliated Hospital) Introduction
Peng Garden is a Japanese-style building that was originally the second clubhouse of the Taiyang Company during the Japanese colonial period. It features facilities such as a martial arts hall, billiards room, and table tennis room, and it also served as a training center for technicians of the Taiyang Company. After World War II, it was converted into the Rui-Fang Gold Mine Hospital associated with the Taiyang Company. Following the cessation of mining in Jiufen, it became Peng Surgical Hospital. After the death of Director Peng Qinghuo, it was renamed Peng Garden in his memory. If you go down from Shuqixi Road towards the automobile road, you will see a small square with stone tables and chairs on the left. Behind the square stands a well-preserved two-story Japanese building, which is the well-known "Peng Garden." Doctor Peng practiced medicine in Jiufen throughout his life, saving many people. At that time, many miners suffered from silicosis due to excessive dust inhalation, and Dr. Peng researched this disease and rescued countless ailing miners. The interior is adorned with information and historical photos related to Dr. Peng. Currently, it does not accept reservations, but visitors can enjoy the exterior scene in front of Peng Garden.
