228 Peace Memorial Park

Unclaimed

Such a Urban oasis for a change of pace Stumbled across this park pure by chance and it was such a pleasant experience. As I was getting closer to the park the bird chirps totally overwhelmed the city’s hustle and bustle surrounding it. Stepping into the park is almost transformational as the lush greenery and peaceful air surrounds and hugs each visitor. The park is small but worth the visit for a moment of escape. Oh, no food allowed in the park Happy travels

Absolutely incredible. The art installation there is one of a kind that's for sure. The park features an auditorium where free shows happen, not sure the schedule. The art piece is interactive as well as the other art pieces. There's also a fountain show, and it's pretty neat. The park has water features, for looking not for swimming. And the convenient part is this park is completely surrounded by stores for your convenience. Really a great place to bring your kids to show them stuff, not really a place for birthday parties or anything like that. I urge you to go! Oh yeah and the big art installation with the cubes, there's an added secret once you reach the center. You have to see it for yourself!

Heritage garden, natural garden with lots of birds flying beautifully, beautiful trees and flowers. Air smells fresh in this garden. Birds here seems fatter in my opinion. And possibly they’re well fed here. There’re people scrolling around with pet dogs and with birds chirping everywhere. Good place for a natural sightseeing experience. Located just behind National Taiwan Museum. A walking distance of just 5mins.

As an anthropologist, a friend of Taiwan, and a follower of the Dharma, visiting the 228 Peace Memorial Park was a deeply moving experience. This tranquil space honors the memory of thousands who suffered during the 1947 uprising and its brutal suppression—a pivotal chapter in history that paved the way for Taiwan’s journey to true democracy. The park offers a reflective space for deeper insights into the cost of authoritarianism and the resilience of the Taiwanese spirit. Walking these grounds, I felt both sorrow and reverence. It's not just a park—it's a sacred reminder of impermanence, compassion, and the enduring struggle for justice.

A big nature and historical garden under a very peaceful environment. Many old people are sitting on the chairs to enjoy the sunshine. A good opportunity to learn and understand democracy is not coming from the air, it is coming from fighting and sacrifice.
