Yiyi Peace Memorial Park Introduction
Yiyou Anti-Japanese War Peace Memorial Park commemorates the righteous army that resisted Japan during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. Inside, there is a shrine dedicated to the martyrs for the public to pay their respects, and on both sides, there are ancient cannons, a pavilion, and a flower rack. The ancient cannons were established in the tenth year of Guangxu (1884) and served as a tool for the righteous army during the invasion by Japanese troops and Governor Liu Ming-chuan. They were originally placed in front of the Guashan Pavilion at the present-day Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, moved to the front of the Guashan Garden Restaurant in 1972, and then relocated to the current site. The name of Yiyou 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 "Yiyou Anti-Japanese War Peace Memorial Park" in February 2008. The renovated park is fresh and beautiful, featuring modern-style ramps and spacious wooden platforms, from where visitors can overlook the Dadu River, reminiscing about the bravery and heroic spirit of the volunteers during the anti-Japanese war. Today, the smell of gunpowder is no longer present, replaced by shady green trees and the sounds of birds and insects, making it a great place for many locals to engage in leisure activities.
