Yimi Anti-Invasion Peace Memorial Park Introduction
The Yimi Bao Tai Peace Memorial Park commemorates the anti-Japanese righteous army during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. Within the park, there is a shrine where people can pay their respects to the martyrs, as well as an ancient cannon on each side, along with pavilions and flower frames. The ancient cannon was established in the tenth year of Guangxu (1884) and served as a tool for the righteous army to resist the invading Japanese military during the governorship of Liu Ming-chuan. It was originally located in front of the Bagua Mountain Pavilion, now the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, moved to the front of the Bagua Mountain Garden Restaurant in 1972, and relocated to its current site in 1983. The park was originally named "Bagua Mountain Anti-Japanese Martyrs Memorial Park." After being renovated and redesigned, it was officially renamed "Yimi Bao Tai Peace Memorial Park" in February 2008. The renovated park is fresh and beautiful, featuring modern sloped paths and spacious wooden platforms. Here, one can gaze towards the Dadu River, reflecting on the heroic spirit and the determination of the righteous army during the anti-Japanese battles. Today, the smell of gunpowder is no longer present; instead, it has been replaced by lush greenery and the sounds of birds and insects, making it a popular spot for local residents to relax and exercise.
