1895 Biyun Preservation Park Introduction
Looking for a place that combines history and nature? The "1895乙未保台紀念公園" (1895 Hsijhou Memorial Park) in Taoyuan is definitely your top choice! This unique park, set against the backdrop of the乙未 (Yiwei) Campaign, cleverly integrates design elements to create a dialogue between history and the contemporary era. The core highlight of the park is the "Yiwei Ring," which symbolizes the connection between the past and present, crossing roads as a ring bridge without support. Not only does it link different areas of the park, but it also stitches up historical wounds. The designer sees the "circle" as a symbol of unity, embodying the spirit of cooperation among different ethnic groups. Standing on the bridge, you can almost feel the determination of the righteous guardians defending their homeland! It's worth mentioning that the "1895乙未保台紀念公園" shone brightly on the international design stage in 2023, winning multiple awards at the MUSE Design Awards in the United States, including the highest honor, the Platinum Award, in categories such as "Parks," "Parks and Open Spaces," and "Urban Design," along with a Gold Award in "Public Landscape." These international accolades bring immense pride to the citizens of Taoyuan and add four statues symbolizing honor to this land! The Soundproof Memorial Wall and the Semi-Circle Water Pool: A solemnity in tranquility. Entering the inner side of the Yiwei Ring, a simple yet dignified soundproof memorial wall stands before you. Beneath the memorial wall lies a semi-circular infinity mirror water pool, which invites visitors to linger. The reflection of different sceneries changes over time, and the beauty sculpted by night lights makes it a favorite spot for social media enthusiasts and photography lovers! An Interactive Journey of Historical Memory: Don't forget to visit the "Yiwei Memory Exhibition Space" located underground on the east side! Through innovative display designs, it pieces together fragments of history into a complete picture. From the oppressive imagery of bamboo forests to the curved walls that metaphorically illustrate the ups and downs of the battlefield, every design immerses you in the experience. The exhibition area also features digital projections of the names of the righteous heroes, as if their names transform into starlight, forever shining upon future generations. Family Fun and Education: Bringing children along guarantees fun for everyone! The landscape playground designed on the west side of the park features creative elements like landscape play hills, sandpits, and slides, suitable for exploration across all age groups. The entire family can enjoy laughter and memories here while experiencing the fusion of historical scenes and modern life. Moreover, the park is connected to the Shimen Dazhen Overhanging Branch Canal. Strolling along the ecological water canal trail, breathe in fresh air, and enjoy the riverside scenery, providing satisfaction for both body and mind.
