Monument for Founding of Yilan County, Historical memorial in Yilan City, Taiwan.
The Monument for Founding of Yilan County is a historical structure blending Japanese wooden house elements with Western classical architectural features. The building preserves a mixed style that reflects the different influences that shaped the region.
The monument was inaugurated in 1960 and marks the founding of Yilan County on the former site of the magistrate's official residence. The location therefore carries a deep administrative and governmental history.
The memorial reflects how Yilan developed as a city and the role that local administration played in the region's growth. Visitors can see how the community took shape over the decades through the exhibits on display.
The memorial is within walking distance from Yilan Station and is open Tuesday through Sunday. Plan your visit on regular days to make sure the site is accessible when you arrive.
An old camphor tree in the memorial garden influenced decisions to protect the structure when urban renewal projects threatened the site. The tree remains a quiet witness to these preservation efforts.
