臺中八二三臺海戰役紀念碑

The Taichung 823 Taiwan Strait Battle Memorial is a war memorial in Renmei with stone structures and informational displays about the Second Taiwan Strait Crisis. The grounds feature exhibits that document the military engagements of that period through various display boards.

The memorial was established in 2001 to honor soldiers who fought during the intense battles near Kinmen Island in 1958. These conflicts arose from broader Cold War tensions between Taiwan and mainland China.

The memorial serves as a center for annual ceremonies where veterans, officials, and local residents gather to honor those who died defending Taiwan. These gatherings keep the memory of their sacrifice present in the community.

The memorial is accessible during daylight hours and features informational panels for self-guided learning about the events. The site is laid out openly so visitors can explore the grounds without obstruction.

The memorial takes its name from August 823, referring to the campaign date in 1958 that became locally significant. This naming convention is immediately recognized by people in the region.
