About Taiwan's Retrocession Day

Taiwan's Retrocession Day commemorates the end of Japanese rule over Taiwan in 1945 and its restoration to the Republic of China. While it was formerly a major public holiday, its observance has become more low-key in contemporary times. It remains a historically significant date that marks a major transition in the island's modern political history.
