228 Peace Memorial Park

The 228 Peace Memorial Park is a green area with a memorial in Zhongzheng District, where a central stone column rises above low trees and lawns. Paved paths connect different sections that hold sculptures and plaques among flower beds and shaded benches.

The site began around 1900 under Japanese administration as a city park with ponds and pavilions. After 1996, the space was reshaped to remember victims of political violence in 1947, gaining its current name in the process.

The name refers to events on February 28, 1947, that shaped Taiwanese society. Plaques and sculptures throughout the space honor the victims, while families and school groups visit to learn about this chapter of the past.

The park remains open around the clock and sits within walking distance of the National Taiwan University Hospital metro stop. Shaded spots appear beneath trees along the paths, while the main memorials stand on open lawns.

An old colonial-era radio building now serves as a museum within the grounds. The original Japanese pond still lies near the entrance, where the shape of the old garden layout remains visible.
