228 Peace Park

228 Peace Memorial Park is a historic site located south of Ketagalan Boulevard in the Zhongzheng district of Taipei, Taiwan. The park is home to the Taipei 228 Memorial Museum, housed at the site of a former radio station that operated under Japanese and Kuomintang rule.

The park contains a number of memorials to victims of the 228 Incident of 1947, including the Taipei 228 Memorial that stands at the center of the park. The National Taiwan Museum stands at the park's north entrance. The park also features a bandshell and exercise areas. The park, designed by Taiwanese architect, Tsu-Chai Cheng, was established in 1908 as Taihoku Park during the Japanese colonial period. It was the first European-style urban park in Taiwan, placed on the grounds of the Colonial Governor's Office (today's Presidential Office Building). In 1930 Taiwan's Japanese authorities established a radio station at the site.

The station initially housed the Taipei Broadcasting Bureau, an arm of the Government-General Propaganda Bureau's Information Office. The following year the Taiwan Broadcast Association was formed and given responsibility to broadcasts island-wide. The Taihoku Park radio station became the center of broadcast activity for the Association. The park was renamed Taipei New Park in 1945 by the Kuomintang authorities who replaced the Japanese at the end of the second World war in 1945. They renamed the broadcasting agency the Taiwan Broadcasting Company. The station became the primary broadcast organ of the Kuomintang government and military.
