Haoyue Garden is a statue garden commemorating the national hero Zheng Chenggong. Its name is derived from the two words 'Haoyue' in Zheng Chenggong's poem 'Thinking of you, I can't sleep, the bright moon shines through the plain curtain', expressing the remembrance of the hero and the longing for the compatriots in Taiwan.
