Inspired by the February 28 incident, this route is designed based on the itinerary of the protest route that took place on February 28, 1947, presented in the form of a light travel. Starting from the gathering point of the protest at Taipei Bridge, this route takes you through several significant locations: the Chen Cai’s drum tower formation (Datou drum tower), which hosted a sizable gathering during the protest; Taiping Elementary School, where arrested individuals were once detained; the Fourth Military Police Regiment responsible for pacification operations in the northern region during the February 28 incident; and the Provincial Political Construction Association Office, actively involved in facilitating coordination between the government and the public during and after the incident. The tour concludes at the Tianma Tea House, the epicenter where the event unfolded.

This tour leads the public on-site to connect historical backgrounds and societal ambiance, integrating landmarks and landscapes related to relevant incidents to recreate historical street scenes. Its purpose is to enable citizens to comprehend the process and continuity of historical contexts, fostering a sense of participation in history. To participate in the annual guided tours, it is recommended to search for "Taipei 228 Memorial Museum" on Facebook or call (02)2389-7228 to inquire about registration for the event.

Finally, to end your day on a delightful note, consider visiting the Ningxia Night Market situated adjacent to Taipei Circle in Datong District. Here, you can not only treat your taste buds to delicious street foods but also immerse yourself in the warmth of human connections, intertwined with local stories and cultural essence.
