823 Memorial Park Introduction
Taichung's "823 Memorial Park" was established to commemorate the "823 Artillery Battle" that erupted on August 23, 1958, when the Chinese Communist Army shelled Kinmen. It pays tribute to the brave soldiers and civilians who defended Taiwan during that time. The park displays various military equipment from the army, navy, and air force, accompanied by detailed explanatory signs, reflecting the city's commitment to historical memory. Although some of the displayed weapons were not used during the artillery battle but were instead adopted for subsequent Taiwan Strait defense, they still hold representative and educational significance.
