Tainan Travel

Yoichi Hatta Memorial Park (八田與一紀念園區) is on the north side of Wushantou Reservoir (烏山頭水庫), and was built to commemorate the designer of Chianan Irrigation Channel (嘉南大圳) Yoichi Hatta (八田與一). The memorial building was renovated in 2009 over the course of two years, and was officially opened in 2011. In order to make the building faithful to the original form, the restoration project technicians traveled to Yoichi Hatta's home in Ishikawa Prefecture, which served as the basis for construction, and introduced Japanese carpentry techniques to build this park, and so the park seems like a big family home. The love stone outside has also become a must-visit feature for couples in love, all hoping to receive the blessings of Mr. and Mrs. Hatta who were so dedicated to Taiwan and loved each other dearly.
