Yimi Bao Tai He Ping Memorial Park Introduction
The Yiwei Anti-Japanese War Peace Memorial Park commemorates the righteous army that resisted Japanese aggression during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. Within the park, there is a memorial hall dedicated to honoring the martyrs, as well as an ancient cannon on either side, along with pavilions and flower trellises. The ancient cannon was established in the tenth year of Guangxu, 1884, and was used by the righteous army to resist enemy forces during the occupation by Japanese troops under Governor Liu Mingchuan. It was originally placed in front of the Guashan Pavilion of the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, then moved to the front of the Guashan Garden Restaurant in the 61st year of the Republic of China, and later relocated to its current site in the 72nd year. Originally named "Bagua Mountain Anti-Japanese Martyrs Memorial Park," it was officially renamed "Yiwei Anti-Japanese War Peace Memorial Park" after a renovation in February 2008. The newly renovated park is refreshingly beautiful, featuring modern sloped paths and spacious wooden platforms, offering a distant view of the Dadu River, reminiscent of the valor and determination of the volunteer soldiers during the anti-Japanese battle. Today, the smell of gunpowder is no longer present; instead, it is replaced by lush trees and the chirping of birds, making it a perfect place for many locals to engage in leisure activities.
