228 Peace Memorial Park

This park is on the north side of Katagalan Boulevard and the MRT station 'National Taiwan University Hospital' on the Danshui line. The park was founded by the Japanese in 1907 as New Park. The name was changed in 1996 to commemorate those killed in the 228 Incident of 28 February 1947, in which locals revolting against Chinese rule were brutally massacred by the ruling Kuomintang under Chiang Kai-shek. The park is popular with practitioners of taichi and senior citizens playing Chinese chess. The National Taiwan Museum marks the northern entrance to the park.
