Cenotaph for Martyrs of Sino-French War in Keelung, Historic monument in Zhengsha Village, Keelung, Taiwan.
The cenotaph features traditional Taiwanese architectural elements and commemorates soldiers who died during the 1884-1885 military conflict with France.
During the Sino-French War, over seven hundred French military personnel lost their lives in Keelung through combat and diseases such as cholera.
The memorial compound includes a transformed French cemetery, seasonal celebration spaces, and educational displays about Taiwan's military history.
