Japanese Imperial Military Landing Monument

Japanese Imperial Military Landing Monument, Military memorial monument in Lintou Village, Huxi Township, Taiwan.

The Japanese Imperial Military Landing Monument is an octagonal granite pillar over ten metres tall in Lintou Village, Huxi Township, Penghu. It stands within a roughly 434-square-metre enclosure whose walls are built of maogong stone, a local coral-limestone aggregate. The monument commemorates the landing of a Japanese naval landing force at Lintou on 23 March 1895.

On 23 March 1895, during the First Sino-Japanese War, Admiral Ito Sukeyuki's fleet covered a mixed brigade and naval landing troops that came ashore at Lizhengjiao on Penghu's east coast and pushed toward Mount Taiwu. To reduce losses, marines were sent ashore at Lintou to attack the Qing forces from the flank. The granite monument was unveiled on 21 November 1936 by the Mako Naval Port Command, and in June 1941 the Taiwan Governor-General designated the site a historic place under the name Lintou Combined Naval Landing Site.

After World War II, Republic of China military forces ground down or altered the inscriptions about the Japanese landing, and the monument was renamed the Anti-Japanese War Victory Monument. The granite shaft and its surrounding walls were left standing, so the original Japanese-era structure survives alongside the later Chinese inscription.

The monument stands in Lintou Village, Huxi Township, on Penghu's main island; the site covers about 434 square metres, with a granite wall of maogong stone around it. The floor and steps were given hard paving or stone cladding during the 2000 restoration, while the rest keeps its early appearance. Access is from the village road; the ground is uneven in places.

The monument's octagonal granite shaft stands over ten metres tall, and its surrounding wall is built of maogong stone, a local coral-limestone block. The grounds cover about 434 square metres. After Taiwan's military erased the Japanese landing inscriptions, the site was renamed Victory over Japan Memorial Monument.
