Quick Trip One: 2-28 Park

Here's the first in a series of quick trips to different places in Taipei. This trip was to 2-28 Park Memorial Park. The park memorializes the events of February 28, 1947 (hence 2-28) during which native Taiwanese protested Chiang Kai-shek's encroachment in Taiwan.

At the center of the park is a big monument/spire. I wish I could tell you that I knew what the symbolism is of it, but all the signage is in Chinese.






The park is divided into different sections with a band shell, pagodas, a few lakes, and of course trees.






It was a really great place. A nice oasis in the middle of a big city.

Yep, that's it! Like I said, it was a quick trip!

More to come soon!
