Battle of Kìshì Memorial Park Introduction
Taichung's 823 Memorial Park was established to commemorate the "823 Bombardment" that occurred on August 23, 1958, when the People's Liberation Army shelled Kinmen. It honors the brave soldiers of the Republic of China Armed Forces and civilians who defended Taiwan during that time. The park displays various equipment from the Army, Navy, and Air Force, accompanied by detailed explanatory signs, reflecting the city's emphasis on historical memory. Although some of the showcased weapons were not used during the bombardment but were instead adopted for subsequent defense of the Taiwan Strait, they still hold representational and educational significance.
