The 228 Memorial Peace Park¡@
The 228 Memorial Peace Park, formerly called the Taipei Park, was established in 1908 during the Japanese occupation. Its name was changed in 1996 to memorialize an incident which occurred on February 28, 1947. The incident started when police arrested a woman selling smuggled cigarettes in Taipei. It quickly developed into a bloody conflict between the government and the local people.
