Debris Flow Memorial Park Introduction
This area was originally a lush forest, with the ground covered in abundant vegetation on top of numerous stones. The residents of Fengshan Village settled here during the Japanese colonial period, encouraged by the Japanese to develop camphor resources, including Hakka people from the Hsinchu mountain area and 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 revealed that they were the result of a landslide over a hundred years ago. The Tsou people, who lived in this area earlier, also relocated because of the landslides. In 2003, the "Landslide Memorial Park" was established here, along with the gradual construction of recreational facilities, and it serves to introduce Fengshan's historical life, cultural industry, and knowledge related to landslides through text and illustrations. Its location is right at the entrance of Fengshan Village, making it the first stop for community tours and environmental education.
