Eighty-Three Peace Memorial Park Introduction
The Yimi Anti-Japanese War Peace Memorial Park is dedicated to the patriotic troops who fought against the Japanese during the Qing Dynasty's Guangxu period. Within the park, there is a shrine for the public to pay respects to the heroes, along with ancient cannons on either side, a pavilion, and flower frames. The ancient cannons were established in the tenth year of Guangxu, 1884, and were used by the patriotic troops during the invasion by the Japanese army as tools for resistance. They were originally placed in front of the Guashan Pavilion, now known as the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, and were moved to the front of the Guashan Garden Restaurant in 1972, and then relocated to the current site. The name "Yimi Anti-Japanese War Peace Memorial Park" was originally "Bagua Mountain Anti-Japanese Martyrs Memorial Park." After a re-planning and renovation, it was officially renamed "Yimi Anti-Japanese War Peace Memorial Park" in February 2008. The renovated park features a fresh and beautiful environment, with modern sloped walkways and spacious wooden platforms, where visitors can overlook the Dadu River and reminisce about the valor and self-sacrifice of the patriotic troops during the anti-Japanese battles. Today, the smell of gunpowder has disappeared, replaced by lush greenery and the sounds of birds and insects, making it a great place for local residents to relax and exercise.
