Victory Gate Introduction
Victory Gate is a striking white circular arch structure located at the intersection of Xiaojinmen Lake and Xiacun Road, serving as an important visual landmark for visitors in Lieyu. This memorial gate was originally the site of the "823 Counteroffensive Memorial," shaped like a shell, commemorating the valiant defense and ultimate victory of the national army against over 260,000 artillery shells during the 1958 Battle of 823. Today, the Victory Gate not only symbolizes Xiaojinmen’s unwavering spirit amidst war but also reminds the world of the crucial role this small island played in defending the Taiwan Strait. The arch's design is simple and solemn, with its white shape representing peace, making it a must-visit photo spot for many travelers upon arriving in Xiaojinmen.
