Cihu Memorial Sculpture Park: Rotating Live View of Taiwan’s Historic Garden of Statues
Set within the scenic hills of Daxi District in Taoyuan, the Cihu Memorial Sculpture Park offers one of Taiwan’s most unique and symbolic outdoor collections. This rotating live camera feed presents a dynamic and continuous view of the expansive park grounds, where dozens of statues, lush greenery, and reflective ponds come together to create an atmosphere of solemnity, history, and natural beauty.
At the heart of the park is the Cihu Mausoleum, resting place of former president Chiang Kai-shek. Surrounding the memorial are walking paths and over 200 relocated statues of Chiang, previously removed from public spaces across Taiwan. From this camera, as it rotates, you can catch glimpses of these figures, some in military poses, others with inscriptions: all now gathered in a space where Taiwan’s political history and public memory intersect.
The live rotating camera allows viewers to take in every angle: from distant views of forest-covered hills to close-ups of stone walkways and the carefully positioned sculptures. It pans over visitors strolling through the garden, over quiet reflection areas, and across the tree-lined perimeter that shifts with the seasons.
In spring, flowers bloom around the statues; in summer, sunlight dapples through tall trees; autumn brings golden leaves; and in winter, cool mists settle over the landscape. The changing light and movement of people give the stream a living, breathing quality: a quiet witness to time passing in a place designed to hold onto the past.
Besides historical interest, the park is also a peaceful recreational space, ideal for walking, sketching, photography, and quiet reflection. It’s a place where art, history, and landscape blend into a setting unlike any other in Taiwan.
Whether you’re tuning in to reflect on Taiwan’s past, admire outdoor sculpture, or simply enjoy the natural ambiance, this rotating live view from Cihu Memorial Sculpture Park brings you a real-time, 360° experience of a deeply symbolic and serene location.
