Siaolin Memorial Park

Siaolin Memorial Park is a commemoration site with stone monuments, walkways, and gardens arranged across terraced terrain in Jiaxian District. The grounds include multiple information stations, covered rest areas, accessible pathways, and spaces designed for ceremonial gatherings.

The park was created at the site where Typhoon Morakot triggered a catastrophic landslide in 2009, completely burying the village of Xiaolin under mud and debris. It serves as a remembrance of this disaster and its impact on the community.

The memorial incorporates local building styles and indigenous design elements that reflect how the community preserves its identity through physical space. Visitors can see how these design choices honor the people and their connection to this place.

The grounds are well laid out with broad walkways that are easy for everyone to navigate, and several shaded rest areas throughout. Plan enough time to explore the different memorial sections and exhibition spaces at a comfortable pace.

Embedded within the memorial are artifacts and objects recovered from the buried village that visitors can view in an exhibition space. These salvaged items create a direct link to the people who lived here before the landscape changed.
