228 Peace Park
No. 3號, Ketagalan Blvd, Liming Village, Zhongzheng District, Taipei City, Taiwan 100
Tree-lined public garden built by colonial planners, home to a former radio station turned memorial museum.
This guide to 228 Peace Park in Taipei begins in the last days of February 1947, when a cigarette seller's widow was struck with a gun butt and a bystander was killed by a stray bullet nearby, sparking anger that spread across the island within days. It centers on a modest radio booth that once stood in this park, built by Japanese colonizers for public lessons, and how a group of protesters seized it and put their own voices on the air. Stand near where that booth once stood, close to the park's old Japanese-era garden paths.
