The cache was at the same place as GC76E73.
Machangding Memorial Park was formerly a plot of land used for military purposes, and the Taipei City Government, through negotiations with various parties, successfully won for the right to build the Machangding Memorial Park” Together with the nearby Huajiang Wild Duck Nature Park, they provide the Wanhua District a nice place for leisure and relaxation activities.
Machangding (馬場町) get its name because here used to be a training court of horses and cavalries in Japanese-colonized period. However in the White Terror period, this place became an execution ground. Many innocent people who was thought to be political prisoners was beheaded here. Nowadays, to achieve the goal of transilational justice, the Taipei city government renamed the reverside park to a memorial place. Here you will found a mound, and you might wonder how it formed and why the government wants to keep it. It is said that the executioner earthed previous victims blood before their next execution.
Machangding used to link with the Youth park by an airport runway. The South Airport (南機場) has disappeared only the name left. Only few people knowed the stories of the name of this place, so we wrote it in the cache GC5QB8B. Here you can find a stone plane to memory the first Taiwan pilot along the bike trail.
