When the French army attacked, fierce battles took place near Xiandong, resulting in the sacrifice of countless soldiers. It wasn't until the 64th year of the Republic of China (1975) that residents discovered war remains while building houses. The then-mayor of Keelung held a Buddhist ceremony to appease spirits and gathered the remains of the fallen heroes, burying them here. A monument was erected to commemorate them, and the Cien Shrine was built for offerings and remembrance of the officers and soldiers lost in the Sino-French War. The monument is located on the hillside of Taibai Street. Within the Cien Shrine, Liu Mingchuan and the French general Courbet are enshrined. The inscription on the monument reads "Tomb of the Qing People," symbolizing remembrance for the war heroes. Today, this place has become a site for people to reminisce about the past, serving not only as a historical marker but also as a quiet and profound corner of the city's memory. - Recommended Activities - It is recommended to slowly ascend the hill from the colorful stairs next to No. 83 Taibai Street. After reaching the monument, reflect on the sacrifices of our ancestors, pause to gaze into the distance, and admire the view of the colorful container port and the chimneys of the power plant.
