Huilai Monument Archaeology Park (traditional Chinese: 惠來遺址; simplified Chinese: 惠来遗址; pinyin: Huìlái Yízhǐ) is an archaeological site at Xitun District, Taichung, Taiwan.

History

The site was discovered by Tunghai University student Chen Sheng-ming in 2002. Further investigation revealed the site coverage to be 1,500,000 m2 and the Taichung City Government declared the area to be a City Archaeological Area. Later on, the city government decided to turn the area into a park and manufactured a replica of the excavation site.[1]
