A stone and marble monument erected in 1909 in the newly founded Yilan Park (宜蘭公園) to commemorate Han settlers killed by Indigenous groups during the early settlement of Yilan. The Tayal of Nanao and Xitou (南澳、溪頭) surrendered in 1909 following Japanese subjugation campaigns; their weapons and collected skulls were buried beneath the base of the monument. Built with marble from Danan’ao (大南澳), it was designated a county monument in 2004.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
