Ketagalan Boulevard

Kaidagland Avenue, formerly known as Jieshou Road, is 400 meters long. In the past, the atmosphere in front of the "presidential palace" was horrible, and pedestrians had to bow their heads to pass. Motorcycles and bicycles are not allowed to drive on Jieshou road and the part of South Chongqing Road on the right side of the "President" mansion. Recalling the "lifting of martial law", Jieshou road was renamed kaidagland Avenue, and the traffic prohibition signs on Jieshou road and South Chongqing road were taken away. When the name was changed, the official claimed that it was not intended to be disrespectful to the former "President" Chiang Kai Shek.

Ketagalan Boulevard

Kaida Gran Avenue (Kaida Gran avenue for short) is a road located in the Central District of Taipei city. It is between the hall of the so-called "presidential palace of the Republic of China" of Taiwan authorities and jingfumen (East Gate) of Taipei city. After the restoration of Taiwan, it was initially named Jieshou road. On March 21, 1996, Chen Shui Bian, then mayor of Taipei, took the name of the kaidagland people as the official name of the road in order to show the local characteristics. Kaidagland Avenue witnessed all the important ceremonies and celebrations of the national government's moving to Taiwan. It was also an important assembly point for the assembly and procession in Taipei.

Historical evolution

In the Qing Dynasty, it was formerly known as Dongmen street, Fucheng, Taipei.

During the period of Japanese occupation, according to the habit of not naming the roads in urban areas in Japan, there was no road name, and in 1920 (9 years of Japanese rule), it was included in Wenwu town.

After the restoration of Taiwan, the road was named Jieshou Road, which was named to celebrate the birthday of former President Jiang Zhongzheng. In 1947, the former Office of the Governor General of Taiwan on Jieshou road was renamed Jieshou hall. In 1949, Chiang Kai Shek took Jieshou hall as the office of the presidential palace. It was not until March 25, 2006 that the entrance of Jieshou hall was officially renamed the presidential palace.

On March 21, 1996, when Chen Shui Bian was mayor of Taipei City, Jieshou road was renamed kaidaglan Avenue, and the square next to it was renamed kaidaglan square to symbolize respect for the history and culture of Taiwan's indigenous people. Kaidagland is the name of Pingpu Aboriginal people (kaidagland people) who originally lived in Taipei. Since then, kedagland Avenue has been endowed with another layer of political significance, and has become a holy land for mass rallies, processions and protests, but the police stations and parks on both sides still use the name of "Jieshou".

During the period of martial law in Taiwan, the security in front of the presidential palace was strict and the atmosphere was serious, so the people had to bow their heads. Motorcycles and bicycles were also banned on Jieshou road and Chongqing South Road in front of the presidential palace. When Chen Shui Bian renamed Jieshou road kaidagland Avenue during his term as mayor of Taipei, he also abolished the relevant traffic signs that prohibited the use of locomotives and bicycles on kaidagland Avenue in front of the presidential palace and a section of Chongqing South Road, which was Chen's "space lifting" proposition. He also named the square in front of the presidential palace kaidagland square and held a dance party in front of the presidential palace.

On May 22, 2007, the Taipei municipal government announced that kaidagland Avenue would be renamed anti-corruption Avenue, which was the slogan of the anti-corruption campaign in 2006. At the same time, add anti-corruption democracy square from Gongyuan road to Jingfu menjian square on the east side of the avenue, and take effect today. On the other hand, the move caused fierce opposition from some indigenous people. According to media interpretation, it was Hao Longbin's move to counter the central government's changing the name of the Chiang Kai Shek memorial hall to Taiwan Democracy Memorial Hall. On December 6 of the same year, the municipal government hung the signpost of "anti corruption democracy square" on the street lamp post on the east side of the above Avenue. Yang Xiaodong, a spokesman for the municipal government, said that the listing was in line with the UN International Anti Corruption day on December 9. The media's interpretation is to counter the dispute over the "Dazhong Zhizheng" plaque of the former Zhongzheng Memorial Hall. On the other hand, the anti-corruption Avenue has not been marked.
