Landslide Memorial Park Introduction
This area was originally a lush forest, with a rich vegetation covering the numerous stones on the ground. The residents of Fengshan Village came here around the Japanese colonial period due to encouragement from the Japanese to develop camphor resources. This included Hakka people from the Hsinchu mountain area, as well as residents from nearby Ruili, Ruifeng, and Taixing. Initially, the villagers did not know where the stones beneath the forest came from until recent years, when typhoons and heavy rainfall made it clear that they were the result of mudslides over a hundred years ago. The Tsou people, who lived in this area much earlier, had also migrated from here due to mudslides. In 2003, the "Mudslide Memorial Park" was established here, and along with the gradual construction of recreational facilities, it provides information about the living history, industry culture of Fengshan, and knowledge related to mudslides. Its location is right at the entrance of Fengshan Village, making it the first stop for community tours and environmental education.
