Although the park is not large, stepping inside feels like entering a time tunnel. The slightly salty sea breeze blows, surrounded by greenery, and as your pace slows, you can almost feel the tension of the war back then. This is not just an attraction, but a story belonging to Taiwan, perfect for a quiet stroll and reflection. -Attraction Features- Walking into the Sino-French War Memorial Park is like traveling through a time tunnel, experiencing the sedimentation of that history. During the Sino-French War, Keelung was a major battlefield where fierce battles took place between French forces and Liu Mingchuan's army, resulting in a shocking number of casualties. The French army buried their fallen officers and soldiers on the spot during the Dasha Bay battle. During the Japanese colonial period, the graves from Penghu and Dasha Bay were relocated here. The monument and ancient tombs stand quietly, recording the turbulent years this port city once experienced. Today, the park environment is peaceful and surrounded by greenery, allowing people to find a space for contemplation and remembrance between this history and peace. -Nearby Recommendations- If time permits, it is recommended to visit the surrounding cultural assets along Zhongzheng Road, such as Ershawan Battery, Keelung Fortress Commander's Residence, Mayor's Residence, etc., connecting the historical context from the Sino-French War, the Japanese colonial period, to the early post-war period. A walk through is like reading a book.
