War and Peace Memorial Park and Theme Hall, Memorial park in Cijin District, Taiwan
War and Peace Memorial Park sits on Cijin Island and includes a wall of light, memorial pillars, and a viewing platform with harbor views. The adjacent theme hall holds historical exhibits and artifacts related to armed conflicts.
This memorial was created to honor armed forces personnel who died during the Chinese Civil War and the Korean War. Its establishment reflected a decision to formally recognize these losses in a dedicated public space.
The theme hall displays exhibits about the contributions of women who worked in support roles during armed conflicts, telling stories often left out of traditional histories. These displays help visitors understand perspectives beyond soldiers in uniforms.
Getting there involves taking the ferry from mainland Kaohsiung to Cijin Island, with signs pointing toward the site once you arrive. Plan time for both the outdoor memorial areas and the indoor hall so you can see everything properly.
The outer walls display photographs of soldiers wearing uniforms from the Imperial Japanese Army, National Revolutionary Army, and People's Liberation Army side by side. This arrangement allows visitors to visually compare the different military forces that were active during this period.
