Sino-French War Memorial Park

-Attraction Introduction- This park was established to commemorate the French soldiers who sacrificed their lives during the Sino-French War in 1884. Although the park is not large, stepping inside feels like entering a time tunnel. A slightly salty sea breeze blows in, surrounded by greenery; as you slow your pace, you can almost feel the tension of the war that once raged here. This is not just an attraction, but a story belonging to Taiwan, perfect for a quiet stroll and reflection. -Attraction Features- Stepping into the Sino-French War Memorial Park feels like traveling through a time tunnel, allowing one to feel the weight of history. During the Sino-French War, Keelung served as a major battlefield where French forces and Liu Mingchuan's army engaged in fierce battles, resulting in an astonishing number of casualties. The French army buried fallen soldiers on-site during the Battle of Dasha Bay, and during the Japanese colonial period, the graves from Penghu and Dasha Bay were relocated here. The memorial and ancient tombs stand quietly, documenting the turbulent years this port city once endured. Today, the park environment is peaceful and surrounded by greenery, providing a space for contemplation and remembrance amidst history and peace. -Nearby Recommendations- If time permits, it is recommended to explore cultural heritage sites along Zhongzheng Road, such as Ershawan Battery, the Keelung Fort Commander's Residence, the Mayor's Residence, and more. These sites together weave a historical narrative from the Sino-French War, through the Japanese colonial period, to the early post-war era. A complete tour feels like reading a concise modern history of Northern Taiwan.
