The European-stylePavilion was built in 1908 (Meiji 41 during the Japanese colonial period) to celebrate the opening of the entire Tongguan Railway. The Japanese Prince Kan-in Zai-jin, who came to Taiwan to preside over the ceremony, once stayed overnight in the pavilion, which made the Pavilion famous. Since the Japanese colonial period, the Pavilion has always been a symbol of Taichung City. On April 17, 1999, the Pavilion was officially announced as a "city-designated historical site", which includes the pavilion and the nearby Zhongshan Bridge.Moon-Watching PavilionThe Moon-Watching Pavilion was built in 1889 (the 15th year of Emperor Guangxu’s reign in the Qing Dynasty) and is the only remaining relic of the Taiwan Prefecture City. When the Qing government came to Taiwan to establish a province, Liu Mingchuan, who was in charge of the inspection tour in Taiwan, designated Taichung as the capital of Taiwan Province. As a result, eight city gates and four city towers were built. The Moon-Watching Pavilion is the remaining building of the northern gate among the eight city gates. With the changes of the times, These old city buildings were almost completely destroyed during the Japanese occupation, with only the Moon-Watching Tower remaining. The plaque with the words "Music to Welcome the Gods" in the pavilion was proposed by Taiwan County Magistrate Huang Chengyi. The plaque has a history of more than 100 years and is the oldest monument in Taichung Park . It is currently hung on site as a replica, and the original antique is temporarily stored in the Niufutou Ruins Cultural Park.The guardhousewas originally the main gatehouse of Wu Luanqi Mansion. Wu Luanqi Mansion was demolished in 1980. In order to preserve the historical relics of the mansion, the Taichung City Government moved the guardhouse to Taichung Park. It is currently the only remaining Chinese-style guardhouse building in Taiwan.
