忠魂碑 - Section 1

Inside the Ruifang Park, the location is a little hidden, and the path in front of Zhanfu Ancestral Hall goes in.

The Loyal Soul Monument was established to mourn the 14 Japanese soldiers who died and died in the battle of Ruifang when the Japanese Guards Division received Taiwan in 1895.

The famous monument of Zhonghun in Ruifang Park was finally rebuilt, and the weeds from the intersection to the monument have been cleared. Intersection signs and historical introduction signs of historical sites and scenic spots should be added in the future, so that they are complete.

Stele of Loyalty in the Ruifang Park, hidden in the park There are very few preserved Japanese eras in Taiwan. The Soul of Loyalty Monument stands on a three-story pedestal. Behind the front of the stele is the word of Soul of Lore inscribed in a "cursive style".

If you are not on the right road, you can't see the right road. There are too many weeds and they haven't been sorted out.

On May 29, 1895, the newly appointed governor of Taiwan, Shiji Huashan, came ashore from Aodi Beach, and he explained the countermeasures against Taiwan with Prince Nohisa of the North Shirakawa Palace, and agreed to occupy Keelung on June 3 to determine the base of the barracks. Therefore, the commander of the Beibaichuan Palace Division formulated a joint attack with the standing fleet against Keelung by sea and land to capture Keelung. Casualties of Taiwan’s Anti-Japanese Army According to the records of Japan’s Yomiuri Shimbun at the time, only a hundred of the 1,500 soldiers from Ningbo in Zhejiang survived back to Ningbo, which shows the fierce fighting. In order to commemorate the souls of the Japanese soldiers who died in battle, the Japanese built a monument to the loyal souls of the Japanese soldiers in Ruifang. The Ruifang Loyalty Monument is the largest and most complete monument in existence, which is of deep historical significance.
