Meiyuan Garden Introduction
Meiyuan, located beside the "Never Forget" stone at Mount Taiwu in Kinmen, is an important attraction for those ascending the mountain. The park's tranquil environment complements the mountainous scenery, displaying different appearances throughout the four seasons, making it a popular spot for tourists to rest and take photos. The name "Meiyuan" originated in 1987 when then-general Jiang Wei-guo personally inscribed the two characters for "Meiyuan" and led the Plum Blossom Association to plant hundreds of plum trees here, symbolizing steadfastness, elegance, and resilience. Although the number of plum trees has decreased over the years due to natural environmental factors, the park still retains its unique cultural significance and historical memory. Meiyuan is backed by Haiyin Temple, an ancient temple on Mount Taiwu, and faces the "Never Forget" inscription, creating a rich cultural atmosphere. During the Lunar New Year period each year, it often attracts travelers seeking to climb high and enjoy the magnificent views of Mount Taiwu along with the serenity of Meiyuan.
