Hoping for peace at Nagasaki Peace Park
As many of us will know, Hiroshima and Nagasaki had been bombed when an atomic bomb was dropped onto each city during World War II, leading to devastating consequences. In memory of this historic event and the lives lost, Nagasaki Peace Park was built. This is also a must go place for locals, especially for students, as evident from the many school trips that are organised to this place. For tour groups who visit Nagasaki, this will also be one of the places of attraction to visit.
There is a museum that depict the timeline of events in World War II and the dropping of the atomic bomb which ended the war. There is also a life size model of how the atomic bomb looks like on the inside, and the actual size of the bombs. For the outdoor park, there is the Peace Statue representing the hope for peace, and other monuments and memorials are also set up in memory of the victims who suffered and died from the bombing.
This place is a sombre reminder that peace, stability and harmony should not be taken for granted, and everyone plays an important role in maintaining peace and harmony among ourselves.

Nagasaki Peace Park, the time here is quiet
Japan Hiroshima and Nagasaki, two cities that were once destroyed by the US atomic bomb. Today, Hiroshima and Nagasaki have a Peace Park. The first thing I saw at the entrance to the park was the symbolic Peace of Peace in the Peace Park, a male peace god. On the right hand, the index finger is pointing to the sky, indicating that the atomic bomb has fallen. The right hand is flat and the palm is facing down, wishing the world Antai. World Peace.
The peaceful spring on the side of the park means giving a glass of water to the tragic souls killed in the disaster and praying for their blessings. At the same time, in order to pray for a worldly peace. The ever-changing fountain takes the shape of a dove of peace and flies, and at the same time has the shape of a crane, symbolizing the Nagasaki Port, which is known as the crane port. It is said that many people died at the time because there was no water. There was a pool under the sculpture.
There are various sculptures everywhere in the park, which are presented by governments to express their hope for peace and blessings for world peace. There are many in Europe, many in Asia and Africa, including a "peace" sculpture given by China. It is said that there is also the same paragraph in Fuxingmen, Beijing. On both sides of the statue, there is a thousand paper crane tower. There are thousands of paper cranes, water and prayers. There is an old legend in Japan. If someone folds a thousand paper cranes, the crane will fulfill his wish, like a long life, or recover from a serious illness. In Asia, people with a thousand paper cranes can think of a good wish, so the paper crane has become a special occasion gift.
To Nagasaki, I always remembered that "Nagasaki is raining today." Nagasaki is a seaport city. The maritime climate caused time and rain. We even drenched a sun rain in Nagasaki. After a few minutes, it turned fine.

It's hard to imagine that this place was once flattened by an atomic bomb, with peaceful scenes everywhere. Witnessing the destructive power of atomic bombs firsthand is unimaginable.
Standing in Pinghe Park, overlooking the Urakami Church and the mountains further away, imagine that everything in front of you had been turned into scorched earth in a moment before noon. Nagasaki is tragic, it was just Plan B, and as Plan A, Kokura escaped such a disaster, which makes me curious about how the people there feel. I have also gained a more objective, intuitive, and intuitive understanding of the power of atomic bombs, or rather a sense of disenchantment, which is also the most important reason why I would recommend others to come to Nagasaki in the future. Atomic bombs were once a distant nightmare in history, stories, and fantasies, but Nagasaki is actually closer to Shanghai than imagined. The relics left behind by shock waves are not uncommon in cities.
Historical relics like Glasses Bridge are particularly touching to me. On the one hand, it was built under the leadership of a Chinese monk from Jiangxi in 1634; on the other hand, it survived the nuclear explosion of that year and is still the site of a nuclear explosion to this day. Witnesses, on the side facing the shockwave, there are still many wounds and holes;
Furthermore, it has unexpectedly regained its vitality, carrying a daily flow of people and welcoming another Chinese visitor nearly 400 years later, conveying a more complex and intertwin ed sentiment.

The Peace Statue in Nagasaki stands tall, not just in height but in its message to the world.
Easily accessible with elevators to and from a carpark, as well as good options for public transport.

Memories of Nagasaki Peace Park in Japan
In 2009, I visited a park in Nagasaki, Japan called Nagasaki Peace Park. It was built on a hill north of the center of the atomic bomb explosion that year, as a memorial park to pray for world peace. The park has various facilities such as a peace prayer statue and a peace memorial hall. The blue peace prayer statue points its right hand to the sky and stretches its left hand to the side, indicating that only when the world is free from the threat of atomic bombs can it enjoy peace. There is a fountain in the park, which is said to have saved the people of Nagasaki with its water, so it is also called the water of life.

Nagasaki Peace Park is a memorial park built on the hills north of the Atomic Bomb Center in order to pray for world peace. There are various facilities such as the Peace Memorial Statue and the Peace Memorial Hall. The blue peace praying statue is pointing to the sky with the right hand, and the left hand is stretched to the side, indicating that there is no threat to the world to enjoy peace.
Especially like the buildings of Nagasaki, built on the hills above the sea, patchwork.
